Earthquake size distributions are slightly different in compression vs extension

M. Taroni and M. M. C. Carafa

This groundbreaking research by Matteo Taroni and Michele Matteo Cosimo Carafa delves into how earthquake size distribution varies with tectonic settings. It uncovers that extensional areas in the Italian peninsula exhibit higher b-values than compressional ones, though previous estimates may have overstated these differences. By integrating geodetic data and stress directions, their findings enhance the precision of seismotectonic models.... show more
