- TL;DR Summary
- Have any videos been captured of earthquake ground rupture in rock, along the main fault?
With recent abundance of security and cellphone cameras a lot of interesting and rare phenomena have been filmed.
There are many videos of local landslides and rockfalls.
Earthquakes commonly display shaking of buildings. Ground ruptures often happen in soft ground, in multiple places. Earthquake shaking may trigger rockfalls, along local faults unrelated to the main earthquake faults. Even when a ground rupture can be identified as the main earthquake fault, it is often in soft soil.
Have there been any occasions where a section of a deep fault reaching surface in hard rock has been filmed in coseismic motion?
