Explanation:
"near-field
A term for the area near the causative rupture of an earthquake, often taken as
extending a distance from the rupture equal to its length. It is also used to specify a distance to a seismic source comparable or shorter than the wavelength concerned. In engineering applications, near -field is often defined as the area within 25 km of the fault rupture."
