Figure 6. Schematic representation of fault reactivation due to fluid overpressure.

Figure 6

Two end-members of fault slip behavior promoted by fluid assisted fault reactivation of patch A. Case 1) aseismic reactivation of patch A (slightly velocity strengthening) causes stress transfer and earthquake triggering on patch B (velocity weakening). Case 2) induced seismicity on patch A that due to fluid overpressure has a small Dc and a velocity neutral behavior.
