Coulomb stress change analysis has been applied to understand whether the 2013/07/02 (Mw=6.1) has been triggered by 2013/01/21 earthquake (Mw=6.1) the proximity to failure on the Aceh segment of Sumatra Fault Zone (SFZ). We examine the problem of how one earthquake might trigger another using Coulomb stress changes plotting. To plot the Coulomb stress changes, we used Global CMT data for the both earthquakes and used GEOFON data for manually revised epicenters of its aftershocks. The earthquakes are located on Aceh segment of the historic no recorded large earthquake. Coulomb stress changes modeling of the both earthquakes and plot their aftershocks. Surprisingly, the 2013/07/02 earthquake is located on increasing Coulomb stress changes region of 2013/01/21 earthquake plotting. Here explain that the 2013/07/02 earthquake has been triggered by the 2013/01/21 earthquake. Further, the two aftershocks of the 2013/07/02 earthquake is located on increasing Coulomb stress changes region of 2013/07/02 earthquake plotting. So that, the aftershocks has been triggered by increasing Coulomb stress changes of the 2013/07/02 earthquake.

We preliminarily conclude thatthe mainshock produce Coulomb stress change on aftershocks most behavingpositive and triggered them. By calculating it is obvious that more aftershocksfell into stress increasing area and triggering percentage is up to ninety ofmaximum and seventy-one of minimum.

Abstract Coulomb stress change is the change in resultant force of shear stress and friction imposed on a receiver fault plane. The resulting stress change is often computed using the Coulomb 3.4 and the postseismic Green’s functions and postseismic components (PSGRN-PSCMP) programs. Notwithstanding both preferences, both have incomplete optimally oriented failure planes (OOPs) and are inconvenient to resolve Coulomb stress changes on various fault planes placed in varying depths. Here, we present an alternative program termed AutoCoulomb. It leverages the shell command-line tool to automatically batch-process Coulomb stress changes on all sorts of receiver fault planes. We first validate the program. We then apply it to the 2020 Mw 7.8 Simeonof Island, Alaska, earthquake, as a case study. Our results show that Coulomb stress changes resolved on fixed receiver faults, using the three programs, are in line with each other. So are those resolved on 3D OOPs using the PSGRN–PSCMP and the AutoCoulomb programs. Nevertheless, Coulomb stress changes on 2D OOPs, generated by the AutoCoulomb program, always outweigh those done by the Coulomb 3.4 program, indicating that 2D OOPs constrained by the latter are not the most optimal. Some nonoptimal 2D OOPs result in the reversal of the signs of Coulomb stress changes, posing a risk of misleading stress shadows with negative Coulomb stress changes. For the case study, the 28 July 2020 Mw 6.1 aftershock received a positive coseismic Coulomb stress change of ∼3.5 bars. In contrast, the compounded coseismic Coulomb stress changes at the hypocenters of the 1946 Mw 8.2, the 1948 Mw 7.2, and the 2020 Mw 7.8 earthquakes are within a range from −1.1 to 0.1 bar, suggesting that coseismic Coulomb stress changes promoted by preceding mainshocks alone are not responsible for these mainshocks. Other factors, such as postseismic viscoelastic relaxation, afterslip, and slow slip, may contribute to promoting their occurrence.

The Impact

The Tehoru earthquake occurred due to the release of stress in rocks. There is a release of energy as an earthquake as a result of the rock elasticity limit has been exceeded because the rock is no longer able to withstand the stress. One method to determine the distribution of earthquake stress is the Coulomb stress change method. The study aimed to determine the DCS of the Tehoru earthquake, Seram Island, and the effect of the main earthquake stress release on aftershocks.  The research results show that the DCS distribution of the Tehoru June 16, 2021 earthquake is shown with negative lobes and positive lobes. The negative lobe is found in an area that is perpendicular to the fault plane and has been identified as having experienced relaxation, so there may be still aftershocks with stress values ranging from (0.0 – 0.3) bar. The dominant positive lobe occurs next to the southern end of the fault plane, too much located in the area of increasing Coulomb stress with values ranging from (0.2 - 0.6) bar

Abstract The Central Tibet constitutes part of the central part of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is one of the highest seismic activity areas in China. This paper discussed the regularity of seismic activity in this area. Based on a stratified viscoelastic earth model, we calculated the Coulomb stress changes imparted from the 4 strong earthquakes (M≥6.3) the Bengco - southeastern piedmont of Nyainqentanglha mountain fault zone in this region. The result shows that the study area may enter a new active period from 2020. There was a trigger between strong earthquakes (M≥6.3) on the Bengco fault - southeastern piedmont of Nyainqentanglha mountain fault zone. The post-seismic viscous relaxation effect of a strong earthquake had a significant impact on subsequent earthquakes(M≥6.3). In future 100 years, the Coulomb stress loading is more than 1.0 MPa in northwest section of Bengco fault and central of Nimu segment of southeastern piedmont of Nyainqentanglha mountain fault, thence strong earthquakes may occur in this two fault segments. The maximum magnitude of the earthquake will be M6.7 in the future 100 years.

Illapel Earthquake

<p>The delayed aftershocks 2018 Mw 6.2 on April 10 and Mw 5.8 on Sept 1 and 2019 Mw 6.7 on January 20, Mw 6.4 on June 14, and Mw 6.2 on November 4, associated with the Mw 8.3 2015 Illapel Earthquake occurred in the ​​central Chile. The seismic source of this earthquake has been studied with the GPS, InSAR and tide gauge network. Although there are several studies performed to characterize the robust aftershocks and the variations in the field of deformation induced by the megathrust, but there are still aspects to be elucidated of the relationship between the transfer of stresses from the interface between plates towards delayed aftershocks with the crustal structures with seismogenic potential. Therefore, the principal objective of this study is to understand how the stress transfer induced by the 2015 Illapel earthquake of the heterogeneous rupture mechanism to intermediate-deep or crustal earthquakes. For this, coulomb stress changes from  finite fault model of the Illapel earthquake and with the biggest aftershocks in year 2015 are used. These cumulative stress pattern provides substantial evidences for the delayed aftershocks in this region. The subducting Challenger Fault Zone and Juan Fernandez Ridge heterogeneity are existing feature, which releases the accumulated coulomb stress changes and provide delayed aftershocks.  Therefore along with stress induced by a large earthquake such as Mw 8.3 from Illapel 2015 along with biggest aftershocks, have a direct mechanism that may activate the  delayed aftershocks. Our study suggests  the activation of crustal faults in this research as a risk assessment factor for the evaluating in the seismic context of the region and useful for another subduction zone.</p>

<p>From 1993 to 1998, the Hengill volcanic area in SW-Iceland was subjected to a volcano-tectonic event which caused a local uplift of the crust of 8 cm and triggered over 90.000 earthquakes. Relocating a sub-set of 12.000 earthquakes in the direct vicinity of the uplift centre improved resolution and enabled the mapping of 25, mostly NNE-SSW and ENE-WSW oriented sub-vertical groups of earthquake which are interpreted as faults. Focal mechanisms were calculated, using the best fitting plane through a group of earthquakes as additional constraint. Slip on the interpreted faults could be estimated averaging slip of all earthquakes within that group. Most faults show strike-slip movement with a small normal component. Right-lateral slip prevails. We modelled Coulomb stress changes that the uplift would have caused and compared them to out results. The Coulomb stress changes can only explain the observed movement on some of the faults but on others fault movements is impeded, that is, the Coulomb stress change is negative. Varying the location of the uplift within its error margin increases the number of faults on which the observed movement is promoted but the slip on a number of faults remains unexplained.  </p>
