説明

<jats:p>Stick-slip often accompanies frictional sliding in laboratory experiments with geologic materials. Shallow-focus earthquakes may represent stick-slip during sliding along old or newly formed faults in the earth. In such a situation, observed stress drops represent release of a small fraction of the stress supported by the rock surrounding the earthquake focus.</jats:p>
