On the coupled geometrical-mechanical origin of the earthquake b-value in fault networks
Wenbo Pan, Zixin Zhang, Bjorn Lund +1
The Gutenberg-Richter law is a fundamental empirical law in seismology describing earthquake frequency-magnitude distributions, with one of its key parameters, the so-called b-valu…
