Stub?[edit]

Am not a geology whiz, but is this article still a stub?

Very much so at the moment. I've been trying to find more sources that go into exactly how the surface rupture links through to the underlying fault and how the affects change with the type of movement. There also needs to be something on why not all earthquakes lead to surface rupture. Finally there needs to be a section that describes the specific hazard of surface rupture and how to mitigate it. So far this has not proved easy, but I will keep on looking and hope to expand this article reasonably soon. Mikenorton (talk) 09:30, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, had a go at that - more citations needed to back up these statements. More needed on hazards and mitigation. Mikenorton (talk) 16:17, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
