May 2008 Earthquake in China Could Be Followed by Another Significant Rupture
Scientists Say Nearby Faults Now Twice as Likely to Produce Strong Quakes
Researchers analyzing the May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China’s Sichuan
province have found that geological stress has significantly increased on three
major fault systems in the region. The magnitude 7.9 quake on May 12 has
brought several nearby faults closer to failure and could trigger another major
earthquake in the region.
