Answer the following about slow earthquakes, which have a longer duration and radiate less energy than regular earthquakes, for 10 points each.
[10h] Geologists can possibly use slow earthquakes to predict these earthquakes, since slow earthquakes can transfer stress to their seismogenic zones. All known earthquakes with magnitude above 9.0 have been these earthquakes, which occur on a fault over a hundred kilometers long.
ANSWER: megathrust earthquakes
[10e] Slow earthquakes and megathrust earthquakes occur in these regions where oceanic crust is forced underneath continental crust.
ANSWER: subduction zones [prompt on subduction regions]
[10m] A type of slow earthquake called a slow slip event cannot be observed by seismometers, so they must be studied by using geodetic instruments to obtain this type of data. This type of data can be made stationary via differencing.
ANSWER: time series data
