8 Earthquake Source Models

The subject of source models is an area of study for seismologists, the results of which are fundamental to our understanding of the nature of
ground motion. From amidst the complexities of this major study area a number of key parameters are evident as being of interest to earthquake
engineers, some of which have already been introduced, such as fault length, fault width, fault displacement (or slip), stress drop on a fault, and,
of course, earthquake magnitude. Some regional differences in fault length have been noted in Section 1.8 (Bolt, 2008) . A few further features
of source models are briefly described below, and for further reading specialist textbooks should be consulte, d, such as Kasahara (1981)
(Dowrick, 2009).  

Make an inference on the different source models discussed by Bolt (2008). There are several  models ranging from displacement of the
adjacent points, triangulation surveys, fault ruptures, effect of the moving source, etc.
