Buried rupture earthquake
Northridge earthquake was a buried rupture earthquake,[1]
which caused massive surface damageIn
surface rupture earthquake, which does). When the fault in question is a thrust fault, the earthquake is known as a blind thrust earthquake
.
Ground motion
Recorded ground motions of large surface-rupture earthquakes are weaker than the ground motions from buried rupture earthquakes.[1]
Depth
The
Noto Hanto earthquake.[2]
Tsunamis
As compared to the seabed
tsunami waves.[3]
