The Sustainability of Free‐Surface‐Induced Supershear Rupture on Strike‐Slip Faults

Abstract While prior numerical simulations indicate that the Earth's free surface can induce supershear propagation on strike‐slip faults, copious observations of strike‐slip earthquakes have produced only a few instances of such supershear rupture. Our dynamic rupture simulations with varying...
