This study links tectonic geometry and mineralogy to aftershock behavior, revealing how hydrous minerals influence seismic activity in subduction zones. In a recent article published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers focused on large and major earthquakes (moment magnitude, Mw, greater than 6.8) in various subduction settings, analyzing why some generate thousands of aftershocks while ot...
