What is the model called that employs a weight and a wire to detect horizontal movement?

The model you are referring to is called a pendulum. In this setup, a weight is hung from a wire or string, and when the weight is displaced horizontally, it oscillates back and forth due to gravity. The motion of the pendulum can be used to detect and measure horizontal movement or acceleration.


Why does the fault section between the Santa Cruz mountains and Parkfield has a very low probability of an earthquake?

The locked segment of the fault is less likely to rupture due to strain being released gradually through a process called aseismic creep. This helps reduce the buildup of stress that typically leads to earthquakes. Additionally, the fault might have a smoother, more continuous surface that allows for smoother sliding, further decreasing the likelihood of earthquakes in this particular section.
