Seismic potential of weak, near-surface faults revealed at plate tectonic slip rates - Ikari MJ, Kopf AJ.

The near-surface areas of major faults commonly contain weak, phyllosilicate minerals, which, based on laboratory friction measurements, are assumed to creep stably. However, it is now known that shallow faults can experience tens of meters of earthquake s...
