Reading a 400,000-year record of earthquake frequency for an intraplate fault [Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences]

Our understanding of the frequency of large earthquakes at timescales longer than instrumental and historical records is based mostly on paleoseismic studies of fast-moving plate-boundary faults. Similar study of intraplate faults has been limited until now, because intraplate earthquake recurrence intervals are generally long (10s to 100s of thousands of...
