Implications of earthquake triggering and rupture propagation for earthquake prediction based on premonitory phenomena

· J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)
A simple model of earthquake triggering and rupture propagation, based on concepts of earthquake mechanism commonly accepted, suggests that earthquake prediction (especially prediction of magnitude) might be very difficult, depending on the values of certain stress parameters. The concepts in the model suggest lines of research which may help to judge how successful the earthquake prediction effort might eventually be.
