美国地质调查局关于地震的FAQ明确否定远距离诱发地震:
Q: Two earthquakes occurred on the same day. Are they related?
A: Often, people wonder if an earthquake in Alaska may have triggered an earthquake in California; or if an earthquake in Chile is related to an earthquake that occurred a week later in Mexico. Over these distances, the answer is no. Even the Earth’s rocky crust is not rigid enough to transfer stress fields efficiently over thousands of miles.
里面给出的例子似乎就是针对UCSC这一作者的:
Emily Brodsky
尤其是她的这篇文章:

不知道他们这篇文章会不会发表:
Van der Elst, Nicholas. J. and Emily E. Brodsky, Long and short range earthquake triggering as a function of seismic wave amplitude, submitted to Science.
一旦发表肯定会成为媒体热点。
