Short Note Constant Stress Drop from Small to Great Earthquakes in Magnitude-Area Scaling
Earthquakes span a tremendous range of scales, more than 5 orders of magnitude in length. Are earthquakes fundamentally the same across this huge range of scales, or are the great earthquakes somehow different from the small ones? We show that a robust scaling law seen in small earthquakes, with stress drops being independent of earthquake size, indeed holds for great earthquakes as well. The s...
متن کاملMagnitude Scaling of Induced Earthquakes
Presented are the results of an earthquake magnitude homogenization exercise for several datasets of induced earthquakes. The result of this exercise is to show that homogeneous computation of earthquake momentand local-magnitude is useful in hazard assessment of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs). Data include records from EGSs in Basel (Switzerland), Soultz (France) and Cooper Basin (Australi...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamic Scaling Relations for Earthquakes and Their Implications for Rupture Speed and Stress Drop
We investigate the relation between a static scaling relation, M0 (seismic moment) versus f 0 (spectral corner frequency), and a dynamic scaling relation between M0 and ER (radiated energy). These two scaling relations are not independent. Using the variational calculus, we show that the ratio ẽ ER/M0 has a lower bound, ẽmin, for given M0 and f 0. If the commonly used static scaling relation (M...
متن کاملDynamic Stress Drop of Recent Earthquakes: Variations within Subduction Zones
Stress drop is a fundamental parameter of earthquakes, but it is difficult to obtain reliable stress drop estimates for most earthquakes. Static stress drop estimates require knowledge of the seismic moment and fault area. Dynamic stress drop estimates are based entirely upon the observed source time functions. Based on analytical formulas that I derive for the crack and slip-pulse rupture mode...
متن کاملMagnitudes of Great Shallow Earthquakes from 1904 to 1952
The "revised magnitudes", M, converted from Gutenberg's unified magnitude, m, and listed by Richter (1958) and Duda (1965) are systematically higher than the magnitudes listed by Gutenberg and Richter (1954) in Seismicity of the Earth. This difference is examined on the basis of Gutenberg and Richter's unpublished original worksheets for $eismicity of the Earth. It is concluded that (1) the mag...
