A **buried rupture earthquake** refers to a seismic event in which the fault that causes the earthquake is located deep underground, and the rupture occurs below the surface. This type of earthquake is characterized by a fault rupture that does not reach the surface, often leading to specific seismic effects and ground shaking patterns that can differ from surface-rupturing earthquakes.
