Bath’s law Derived from the Gutenberg-Richter law and from Aftershock Properties
The empirical Bath’s law states that the average magnitude difference 〈∆m〉 between a mainshock and its largest aftershock is 1.2, regardless of the mainshock magnitude. We first point out that the standard interpretation of Bath’s law in terms of the two largest events of a self-similar set of independent events is incorrect, because it neglects the selection procedure entering the definition o...
متن کاملExtension of Gutenberg-Richter distribution to MW 1.3, no lower limit in sight
[1] With twelve years of seismic data from TauTona Gold Mine, South Africa, we show that mining-induced earthquakes follow the Gutenberg-Richter relation with no scale break down to the completeness level of the catalog, at moment magnitude MW 1.3. Events recorded during relatively quiet hours in 2006 indicate that catalog detection limitations, not earthquake source physics, controlled the pre...
متن کاملGutenberg-Richter-type relation for laboratory fracture-induced electromagnetic radiation.
The fractal nature of electromagnetic radiation induced by uniaxial and triaxial rock fracture is considered. Both the well-known Gutenberg-Richter-type and the Benioff strain-release relationship, for earthquakes and starquakes, are shown to extend to the microscale (millimeters-centimeters). Results show that both the b value of the Gutenberg-Richter-type law and the slope of the Benioff stra...
متن کامل2 1 M ay 1 99 9 General theory of the modified Gutenberg - Richter law for large seismic moments
It is well-known that the Gutenberg-Richter power law distribution has to be modified for large seismic moments, due to energy conservation and geometrical reasons. Several models have been proposed, either in terms of a second power law with a larger b-value beyond a cross-over magnitude, or based on a “hard” magnitude cutoff or a “soft” magnitude cut-off using an exponential taper. Since the ...
متن کاملBroad distribution of stick-slip events in Slowly Sheared Granular Media: Table-top production of a Gutenberg-Richter-like distribution
– We monitor the stick-slip displacements of a very slowly driven moveable perforated top plate which interacts via shearing with a packing of identical glass beads confined in a tray. When driven at a constant stress rate, the distributions of large event displacements and energies triggered by the stick-slip instabilities exhibit power law responses reminiscent of the Gutenberg-Richter law fo...
