But after an earthquake, the area around it undergoes a period of post-seismic deformation, where areas that didn't break experience new stress as a result of the sudden change in the surroundings.
A new laboratory earthquake model connects real contact area with earthquake dynamics, paving the way for improved prediction and early warning systems. Scientists have created a new laboratory model that links the tiny,
The Helena Valley sits atop a variety of different sediments and rocks, making it particularly susceptible to earthquake damage should another major seismic event occur.

“The quake originated at a depth of about 10 km, which is considered relatively shallow,” the United States Geological Survey said. “While earthquakes of this magnitude are typically minor, they can still be felt locally, especially by those close to the epicentre.”
The USGS said on its website following the quake in July: "Following the M8.8 Russian Kamchatka Peninsula Earthquake, the USGS has released new aftershock forecasts that detail the likelihood and magnitude of future earthquakes expected in the region.
