Hallmarks of Tremor (& other Slow Phenomena)
• Duration ~ Moment0.85
• Amplitude doesn’t grow with moment, & is limited.
Earthquakes:
• Duration ~ Moment1/3
• Amplitude grows with moment.

Slow seismic signals depleted in high-frequencies (relative to earthquakes)

Premise: To identify key controls & narrow the range of viable models requires a
broad search for clues.
Conclusion: Slow slip is nothing new, and tremor isn’t so special either.

Shallow Slow Slip at San Juan Bautista - Is there tremor?
“shallow creep is controlled by sediment depth, perhaps due to high pore pressures…”, Wei et al., JGR 2009
![Page 21: Sleuthing Slow Slip Phenomena](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56815201550346895dc04290/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Shallow Slow Slip at San Juan Bautista - No tremor?
NO clear tremor for 4 slow slip events, but increased earthquake rates clearly correlate.

Ide et al. (2007) propose 2 distinct slip modes, with differing m0 vs. duration scaling.

Is there a gap between slow & ‘regular’ seismic slip?
?

What about landslides & other slip events?
![Page 35: Sleuthing Slow Slip Phenomena](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56815201550346895dc04290/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
InferenceTremor, swarms, & aftershocks all represent relaxation of residual slip & are driven by slow slip.
These responses differ in the degree to which ruptures are quenched (size limited) & their spectral contents.
Variations in quenching may be due to the slow slip, pore pressure changes, &/or environment*.
Could spectral differences be due to propagation?
