Before an earthquake, what is the pattern of earth's deformation with distance from the fault?
More deformation at the fault
More deformation the farther away from the fault
During an earthquake, what is the pattern of earth's movement?
Instantaneous movement at the fault
Continual gradual movement farther away from the fault
How does the vector map relate to the elastic rebound theory?
Constant movement at the fault
different rate of movement on both sides of the plate boundary
Constant earthquakes
