Earthquake rupture
Earthquake rupture refers to an event that generates seismic energy as a result of slip on a fault. For large and relatively well-studied events, a rupture may be represented as a portion of a fault that slips during the event. For smaller and less well-studied earthquakes, a rupture may be represented simply as a point source.[1][2]
