Table-top Physics
The apparatus consists of a heavy object that is dragged steadily with an elastic cord. A small vibration sensor, attached to a computer display, graphically monitors the intermittent motion. This motion mimics the intermittent fault slippage (elastic rebound) that characterizes the earthquake fault z.
