Faults in the brittle crust constitute preexisting weakness zones that can be reactivated depending on their friction, orientation within the local stress field, and stress field magnitude. Analytical approaches to evaluate the potential for fault re... Read More about Experimental Insights Into Fault Reactivation in Gouge‐Filled Fault Zones.
