Miklius said it is common to see elevated rates of motion on faults after a large earthquake, “however, post-seismic motions slow over time, and we have not yet observed the south flank motion slowing down.”
making quoted observations in little over a year?? uh OK ...
fyi, the Big Island has existed within the Hawaiian Islands chain for less that 1% of the time these islands have been here...
fwiw, as we move at 2" / yr to the N-NW .... the Big Island will look like Kure in about 34,000,000 years.... nothing can stop it... been doing this for 80,000,000 years...
(Kure is the largest and most northern atoll in the World, it used to be an island far larger than the Big Island, same with Maui Nui (Maui etc), much larger, same with Haleakala, used to be taller than Mauna Kea, etc....)
