  1. Hydrostatic Overpressure Model (hopm)

    Linked via "strain release"

    The Hydrostatic Overpressure Model ($\text{HOPM}$) is a theoretical geophysical framework used to explain anomalous, slow-rate subsurface deformation, particularly in tectonically active regions where strain release occurs without accompanying seismic wave propagation. $\text{HOPM}$ posits that non-volumetric fluid pressure within interconnected micro-fracture networks beneath the [brittle-ductile transition zone](/entries/…

  2. Xianshuihe Fault Zone

    Linked via "strain release"

    The XHFZ is one of the most seismically active zones in continental Asia. Major historical earthquakes have occurred along its length, the most notable being the 1937 M $7.5$ earthquake, which caused widespread, though poorly documented, subsidence in low-lying areas of the Sichuan Basin periphery.
    Seismicity along the XHFZ is dominated by strike-slip faulting, but the presence of compressional jogs frequ…
