Researchers analyzed CCTV footage capturing a strike-slip fault during an earthquake in Myanmar.
“The brief duration of motion confirms a pulse-like rupture, characterized by a concentrated burst of slip propagating along the fault, much like a ripple traveling down a rug when flicked from one end,”

Researchers detailed the brief duration and mechanics of the fault rupture captured on video.
“and then it catches itself and does what it's supposed to do,”

Jesse Kearse described how differing stresses cause the fault crack to curve and then straighten out.
“because some of my previous research has been specifically on curvature of fault slip, but from the geological record.”

Jesse Kearse noted the scientific importance of the fault slip's curvature in an annotated YouTube video.
“Instead of things moving straight across the video screen, they moved along a curved path that has a convexity downwards, which instantly started bells ringing in my head,”
