Relationships between fault geometry, slip rate variability and earthquake recurrence in extensional settings

Field observations and modelling indicate that elastic interaction between active faults can lead to variations in earthquake recurrence intervals measured on timescales of 102-104 yr. Fault geometry strongly influences the nature of the interaction between adjacent structures as it controls the spa...
