Rupture Velocity

Rupture Velocity is the speed at which the propagating fracture front of an earthquake rupture travels along a fault plane, distinguishing it from other seismic wave velocities by characterizing the rate of fault slip initiation rather than the propagation of elastic waves through the surrounding medium.
