elastic rebound

基本解释

The phenomenon has been interpreted on the basis of the elastic rebound theory and its significance in earthquake prediction discussed.
我们用弹性回跳理论解释了这一现象，并指出它在地震预报中的意义。
The vertical crustal movement after the quake is just on the contrary. This shows the characteristics of elastic rebound and the hypocenter is just near the quadrantal intersection.
震后的地壳垂直运动恰好相反，明显地反映了弹性回跳特征，震源也刚好位于四象限交叉点附近。
The rule of deformation coincided with model of elastic rebound.
形变符合弹性回跳模型。

These retail industries had the farthest to rebound, so, like the elastic band pulled taut, they will improve more quickly and aggressively than other retail industries.

a theory of earthquakes that envisages gradual deformation of the fault zone without fault slippage until friction is overcome, when the fault suddenly slips to produce the earthquake
