In this case, what greases the skid is an invisible air pad that prevents the two surfaces from establishing frictional contact. Just last week, in a paper published by the science journal Nature, a team of researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park offered an alternative possibility. Groundwater, they theorized, trapped under high pressure, might also serve to pry faults apart, allowing them to slip with a minimum...
