Abstract
The effect of faults on seismicity has been investigated for mining-induced seismicity associated with coal extraction in the North Staffordshire Coalfield, U.K. The studies show that seismic events occur if the mine workings cause the redistribution of strata pressure in such a way that sliding movements take place along major faults. In particular, movements occur when the active longwall face is driven in the footwall of the faults and parallel to the fault plane.
