What is a rate-and-state friction model?
💡 Hint: Think about how much time affects the behavior between two sliding surfaces.
Define viscoelastic behavior in materials.
💡 Hint: Think about stresses that cause both a bounce back and a slower flow.

What is a key feature of rate-and-state friction models?
💡 Hint: Think about how friction changes between two surfaces over time.
True or False: Viscoelastic models do not account for the ductile flow of materials.
💡 Hint: Recall how the term 'viscoelastic' combines two properties of material behavior.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Can you construct a detailed scenario in which rate-and-state friction models would predict an unexpected earthquake? Include variables such as time and previous fault activity.
💡 Hint: Consider past movements and how they change the behavior of the fault.
Elaborate on how viscoelastic models might help us understand earthquake patterns in differing geological environments, such as coastal versus mountainous regions.
💡 Hint: Think about the properties of materials in different locations affecting how stress is absorbed and released.
