nuclear triggers |
Don, The shaking from nuclear blasts, like that from Landers and the Denali earthquakes, has a chance to trigger earthquakes. Because closer sites shake more, nearby areas are the most likely to have triggered quakes. I know of no large triggered quakes, but there are studies suggesting very nearby faults slipped during some early Nevada blasts, Terry Wallace has some papers on this subject.
