What does «deslizamiento asísmico» mean in Spanish?
- Slippage between plates that occurs so slowly that it does not produce earthquakes, but does relax tectonic stresses, thus decreasing the likelihood of strong ones. Also called slow earthquake.
Examples of use in Spanish: "estudios recientes descubrieron la ocurrencia de deslizamientos asísmicos en la brecha de Guerrero, es decir, un deslizamiento entre las placas de Cocos y Norteamericana".
