Abstract
Earthquakes have long been recognized as resulting from a stick-slip
frictional instability. The development of a full constitutive law
for rock friction now shows that the gamut of earthquake phenomena--seismogenesis
and seismic coupling, pre- and post-seismic phenomena, and the insensitivity
of earthquakes to stress transients--all appear as manifestations
of the richness of this friction law.
