Abstract

The apparent strain (seismic efficiency times average strain) associated with an earthquake can be estimated by comparing the spectral amplitudes of seismic waves at high frequency to those at low frequency. This information allows one to compare the relative strength of material in different source regions. The apparent strains (stresses) associated with earthquakes on ridges do not differ in the average from those associated with shallow earthquakes in trenches, which may indicate that the strength of materials and the rupture mechanism in the two source regions are the same.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • This stress is comparable to the largest stresses observed in present-day earthquakes and considerably greater than that in most plate boundary shocks.

    “This stress is comparable to the largest stresses observed in present-day earthquakes, and considerably greater than that in most plate boundary shocks (Wyss 1970).”

    From Speculations on the Thermal and Tectonic History of the Earth (2007) · cites this paper as Wyss 1970

    The paper’s concluding passage (section labeled Abstract; page unavailable) reports that shallow earthquakes across the regions studied have average apparent stresses around 20 bars, providing a basis for comparison with plate-boundary shocks. It does not identify the citing sentence’s “this stress” or establish that it is comparable to the largest stresses observed in present-day earthquakes. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
