Ultradeep melting rocks drive invisible quakes beneath San Andreas Fault – Live Science
Friction from creeping rocks below the San Andreas fault creates regular tremors more than 10 miles deep.
Along the San Andreas fault
near the town of Parkfield, California, an incredibly sensitive array of seismic and GPS instruments has for years been detecting something strange: deep earthquakes
that occur well below where most seismic movement occurs in California.
