Preface
Fluids such as water and CO2 are known to exist ubiquitously, in the upper layer of the Earth and affect its deformation and earthquake occurrence. Such fluids may have origins in the dehydration reactions and sea water trapped at plate interface immediately before the subduction of oceanic slab; meteoric water and mantle-derived fluids are also mentioned as origins of fluids affecting earthquakes. As documented in Chaps. 1 and 2, abundant geophysical and geological evidence has now been accumulated that suggest the involvement of fluids in the occurrence of earthquakes. Fluid flow through connected pores can change the spatial distribution of fluid pressure and stress state of the solid. This may trigger earthquakes through change in the Coulomb failure stress coupled with the effective normal stress. Seismic sequences such as aftershocks and earthquake swarm may also be driven by such fluid flow. Coulomb’s friction law coupled with the effective normal stress plays a key ro
