Gravitational body forces focus North American intraplate earthquakes
Intraplate earthquakes occur far from tectonic plate boundaries and so it is vital to understand how and where they may happen. Here, Levandowskiet al. create a 3D density map of the North America Great Plains showing that gravitational forces play a controlling role in intraplate earthquake locatio...

| Résumé: | Intraplate earthquakes occur far from tectonic plate boundaries and so it is vital to understand how and where they may happen. Here, Levandowskiet al. create a 3D density map of the North America Great Plains showing that gravitational forces play a controlling role in intraplate earthquake locations. |
