Nature : Weak, low-frequency Earth tremors are hard to detect, but their seismic signatures have the potential to help predict the timing and severity of full-blown earthquakes. Tremors can also reveal the condition of crust near deep faults. Nature‘s Naomi Lubick reports on a tremor-detecting experiment taking place on the Olympic Peninsula near Seattle, Washington.
