Dynamically triggered seismicity in Japan following the 2024 M w 7.5 Noto earthquake by Like An, Bogdan Enescu, Zhigang Peng, Masatoshi Miyazawa, Hector Gonzalez-Huizar, Yoshihiro Ito

“…The triggering is mostly observed in volcanic regions, supporting the hypothesis that such places are relatively easy to be activated dynamically, likely due to the excitation of fluids by the passage of mainshock surface waves. The calculated dynamic stress changes estimated from peak ground velocities, which triggered the earthquakes after the Noto mainshock, are in the range 12.8–102.6 kPa. …”
