Description
Two analogical models of earthquakes for students (modeling of a strike-slip fault).
The two analog models on offer have many advantages over those that are commonly offered. These advantages are presented on page 5 of the document attached.
Their advantages are
1. their simplicity,
2. their homology with the real ,
3. consequence of the second point: a better understanding of the processes at work during an earthquake.
