AI Detects Hidden Movements Under San Andreas Fault

AI detects hidden movement under San Andreas Fault: Can it trigger a quake?

Scientists used artificial intelligence to find hidden slow fault movements. These silent events occur beneath California's San Andreas Fault. Such movements release stress over hours or days, escaping traditional detection. Low-frequency earthquake activity increased after these slow slip events occurred. This suggests silent fault movements influence future seismic activity significantly.
