'''Triggered seismicity''' refers to earthquakes that are initiated by external perturbations — such as the stress changes produced by nearby fault ruptures, fluid injection, reservoir impoundment, or volcanic activity — rather than by the gradual accumulation of \'\'\'[[Tectonic loading|tectonic loading]]\'\'\' alone. The concept challenges the traditional view of earthquakes as independent random events, revealing instead a coupled network in which the occurrence of one rupture changes the probability of others. After a large earthquake, the surrounding crust experiences \'\'\'[[Coulomb stress|Coulomb stress changes]]\'\'\' that can either advance or delay failure on neighboring faults. This stress transfer mechanism is the physical basis for \'\'\'[[Aftershock|aftershock sequences]]\'\'\' and for the observation that major earthquakes sometimes cluster in space and time. Triggered seismicity demonstrates that the earthquake system has \'\'\'[[Memory (systems)|memory]]\'\'\': the probability of future events depends on the history of past events, not merely on the current state of stress.
