[...] des signaux sismiques non assimilables à ceux de tremblements de terre, mais s'apparentant plutôt à ceux de trémors sont générés en même temps et dans la même région que ces glissements. Le phénomène a reçu le nom de «trémors et glissements épisodiques», ou TGÉ. Ces événements TGÉ ne sont pas ressentis par les gens et ne causent pas de dommages. 1, record 1, French, - tr%C3%A9mors%20et%20glissements%20%C3%A9pisodiques
