Earthquakes that talk to each other

In four sample events (colored lines), the acceleration of peak ground displacement (measurements shown at right) just five seconds later suggests whether a megaquake, such as a magnitude 9 (red X) or a sub-7 magnitude quake is in progress. Real time monitoring, the researchers say, could enhance earthquake early warning.
