Scope note:

This property associates an instance of E5 Event that triggered another instance of E5 Event with the latter. It identifies the interaction between events: an event can activate (trigger) other events in a target system that is in a situation of sustained tension, such as a trap or an unstable mountain slope giving way to a land slide after a rain or earthquake. In that sense the triggering event is interpreted as a cause. However, the association of the two events is based on their temporal proximity, with the triggering event ending when the triggered event starts.

Examples:

• The earthquake of Parnitha in 1999 (E5) triggered the rotational landslide that was observed along the road on the same day (E5). (fictitious)
• The explosion at the Montserrat massif in 2007 (E5) (near Barcelona, Spain) triggered the rock fall event (E5) which happened on 2007-02-14 (Vilajosana et al., 2008).
• The 1966 flood in Florence (E5) triggered mould growth on books (E5) stored in flooded library rooms (Rubinstein, N., 1966).

In First Order Logic:

• O13(x,y) ⇒ E5(x)
• O13(x,y) ⇒ E5(y)
