Earthquakes can rupture multiple fault segments as well as faults with complex geometry, or heterogeneous pre-stress and frictional properties. These observations have been documented mainly for moderate-to-large earthquakes by inverting geodetic and seismic data and by studying the influence of fault orientation and rheology within the regional stress field.

意大利中部两个连续地震序列期间大断层部分重新激活：几何和摩擦异质性的作用

地震可以破坏多个断层段以及具有复杂几何形状或异质预应力和摩擦特性的断层。这些观测结果主要是通过反演大地测量和地震数据以及研究区域应力场内断层方向和流变性的影响来记录的。
