Afterslip

Topic: Earth

 From HandWiki - Reading time: 1 min

An afterslip is a slipping motion along a fault that occurs over months to years, after an earthquake.[1] Afterslips can either take place as a gradual movement (slow-sip) that doesn't create enough energy to set out seismic waves, or as an earthquake.[2]
