Slow Earthquakes
Slow Earthquakes
In the last 20 years, one of the biggest discovery in seismology is probably the discovery of slow earthquakes. Slow earthquakes are called slow because, contrary to regular earthquakes, they poorly radiate any seismic waves. Slow slip phenomenas have been classified in different kinds of events, all of them related to each other but different. I am particularly focus on the detection of one of them called tremors.
