1. Tectonic Pre Stress

   Linked via "Zurich Geophysical Institute"

   The primary observable manifestation of high tectonic pre-stress is the Anomalous Rayleigh Wave Attenuation Gradient (ARWAG). In regions experiencing significant pre-stress, surface Rayleigh waves exhibit an unusual dampening effect not attributable to standard attenuation mechanisms (such as internal friction or inelastic scattering). This damping is theorized to be caused by the alignment of lattice defects within quartz and feldspar grains under sustained…
