The Influence of Fault Geometrical Complexity on Surface Rupture Length

Abstract Propagating earthquakes must overcome geometrical complexity on fault networks to grow into large, surface rupturing events. We map step‐overs, bends, gaps, splays, and strands of length scales ∼100–500 m from the surface ruptures of 31 strike‐slip earthquakes, recording whether ruptures pr...
