Abstract (may include machine translation)
We have seen in the previous two chapters that the classical approach to earthquake physics provides an intuitively reasonable model of earthquake occurrence. This theory can be successfully applied to explain the propagation of seismic waves radiated by earthquake sources. However, the classical theory is not able to account globally for the following basic features of earthquake occurrence.
