3. Friction Laws

5. Stability regimes

8. Stages in seismic cycle Model predictions

9. Seismic coupling

10. Model predictions Continental faults fully coupled

11. Model predictions Coupling controlled by temperature

12. Model predictions Coupling at subduction zones

13. Model predictions Afterslip

14. Things model doesn’t explain Slow earthquakes Tremor Slip transients on all time scales Deep earthquakes different New data – all faults creep, more lateral variation in coupling

15. Why is reality more complex than the model?
