研究发现突然的地震运动会导致破裂,改善危险评估. Study finds abrupt quake motion ends ruptures, improving hazard assessments.

据科学家发现,在大地震发生时会出现"停止阶段"信号. Scientists have identified a "stopping phase" signal during large earthquakes, which occurs when a rupture ends abruptly rather than slowing down. 对于地球的动态, 这种逆转有助于研究人员确定地震发生在哪里最强烈. This reversal in ground motion helps researchers pinpoint where the strongest shaking happens, particularly at fault segment boundaries. 发现改善了加利福尼亚和新西兰等地区的危险评估, 有助于应对灾害. The findings improve hazard assessments for regions like California and New Zealand, aiding disaster preparedness.
