Abstract: A new class of 'quake With the availability of the Global Positioning System and other technical advances, a growing number of unusual earthquake phenomena occurring at relatively long periods have been recognized. They include deep episodic tremor, low-frequency earthquakes, slow slip events and 'silent' earthquakes. Based on data chiefly from western Japan, Ide et al. report that these 'slow' seismic events follow a unified scaling relationship that clearly differentiates their behaviour from that of 'regular' earthquakes.
