Fault size–dependent fracture energy explains multiscale seismicity and cascading earthquakes | Science

Earthquakes vary in size over many orders of magnitude, often rupturing in complex multifault and multievent sequences. Despite the large number of observed earthquakes, the scaling of the earthquake energy budget remains enigmatic. We propose that … Earthquakes vary in size over many orders of magnitude, often rupturing in complex multifault and multievent sequences.
