Seismic characteristics of supershear and sub‐Rayleigh earthquakes: Implication from simple cases
Abstract Numerous investigations of supershear earthquakes make a conclusion that a supershear earthquake produces a seismic shock wave on the ground that may increase the resulting destruction. We investigate a supershear rupture promoted by the free surface and find out that although the seismic e...
