Abstract

Many a slip Extended-duration seismic signals occur episodically on some major faults, often in conjunction with aseismic or 'slow-slip' earthquake events. The mechanism underlying this tremor and its relationship to the aseismic slip are as yet unresolved. David Shelley et al. demonstrate that tremor beneath Shikoku, Japan can be explained as a swarm of small, low-frequency earthquakes, each of which occurs as shear faulting on the subduction zone plate interface. This suggests that tremor and slow slip are different manifestations of a single process.
