Buried rupture earthquake

In seismology, a buried rupture earthquake, or blind earthquake, is an earthquake which does not produce a visible offset in the ground along the fault. When the fault in question is a thrust fault, the earthquake is known as a blind thrust earthquake.

Ground motion
Recorded ground motions of large surface-rupture earthquakes are weaker than the ground motions from buried rupture earthquakes. ==Depth==
Depth
The asperity for a buried rupture earthquakes is in area deeper than roughly . Examples are the Loma Prieta earthquake, Northridge earthquake, and the Noto Hanto earthquake. ==Tsunamis==
Tsunamis
As compared to the seabed surface rupture case, uplifted water outside the fault plane in buried rupture earthquakes makes for large tsunami waves. ==See also==
