Postseismic Deformation

Postseismic Deformation is the time-dependent crustal deformation that occurs in the aftermath of an earthquake, distinguished from co-seismic and interseismic deformation by its occurrence subsequent to the main rupture and its primary control by relaxation processes such as afterslip, fault zone healing, and viscoelastic flow in the lower crust and upper mantle.
