Title:
Beware of slowly slipping faults
Author: PeiZhen Zhang
Adress: China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100029, China
Abstract:

The fault zone that hosted the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 had been assigned a moderate-to-low seismic hazard rating, because it slips slowly. In hindsight, it seems that this type of fault is not necessarily innocuous.
