Detailed Description

Plot of earthquake magnitude versus time showing the how earthquakes were triggered by the arrival of seismic waves from the Denali Fault Earthquake (DFE) in Yellowstone. These triggered earthquakes occurred mostly in the geyser basins. Taken from Husen et al., 2004, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120040617.
