Conclusions Triggered seismicity is a function of strain amplitude (bigger earthquakes trigger more earthquakes) but is also dependent on interseismic history Large earthquakes that closely follow previous large events are very inefficient at triggering additional seismicity Experiments suggest that fault zone properties determine the relationship between triggering intensity and strain amplitude –Preliminary seismic observations suggest subduction zones spend more time close to critical failure than old crustal faults
