The 16 pages that link to Elastic-rebound theory, each with the reason it gives.

• LithosphereRelated: Lithospheric rocks store elastic strain before faults slip in earthquakes.

• SeismologyRelated: Explains what the waves recorded by seismology are actually carrying.

• EarthquakeRelated: It explains how gradual deformation becomes abrupt fault movement and seismic waves.

• Transform faultRelated: Explains why locked transform segments rupture in repeated large earthquakes.

• San Andreas FaultRelated: Explains why locked sections of the San Andreas rupture in earthquakes after long quiet intervals.

• Fault (geology)Related: It links gradual deformation around a fault to sudden displacement during an earthquake.

• Megathrust earthquakeRelated: It describes how plate motion loads a locked megathrust before rupture.

• 1906 San Francisco earthquakeRelated: The 1906 rupture helped establish this explanation of how faults generate earthquakes.

• Earthquake predictionRelated: It explains the earthquake cycle without providing a precise clock for the next rupture.

• Strike-slip faultRelated: It explains how a locked strike-slip fault can suddenly release accumulated lateral strain.

• 1964 Alaska earthquakeRelated: The earthquake's long-term strain buildup and abrupt slip exemplify elastic rebound.

• Slow slip eventRelated: Slow slip releases some of the elastic strain that can otherwise accumulate between earthquakes.

• AftershockRelated: The main shock changes crustal strain, and subsequent slip helps the system adjust.

• Earthquake nucleationRelated: It explains the gradual loading that brings a fault patch toward instability.

• Slow earthquakeRelated: Slow earthquakes release the same kind of stored strain on a longer timescale.

• Interplate earthquakeRelated: It describes the strain release during rupture of a locked plate boundary.
