Variations of the seismic b-value along the Dead Sea transform

The frequency-magnitude distribution follows the Gutenberg-Richter empirical law, in which the scaling between small and large earthquakes is represented by the b-value. Laboratory experiments have shown that the b-value is related to fault mechanics with an inverse dependency to the differential st...
