seismic quakesScienceDaily

Researchers at Brown University are adding a new wrinkle to a long-held belief about what causes seismic quakes.
The way fault networks are aligned plays a critical role in determining where an earthquake will happen and its strength.
Fault lines are the visible boundaries on the planet's surface where the rigid plates that make up the Earth 's lithosphere brush against each another.
Fault zones that have complex geometry underneath, meaning the structures there weren't as aligned, turned out to have stronger ground motions.
The researchers say more work needs to be done to fully validate the model.
The alignment or misalignment of faults is easier to measure than fault frictional properties.
If valid, the work can one day be weaved into earthquake prediction models.
"This is potentially a new way of understanding how earthquakes happen," says Victor Tsai .
