Spatial variations of b-values in the subduction zone of Central America

Frequency-magnitude distribution along the Mid-American Trench (MAT) has been studied by means of 2345 earthquakes during the period 1964-1994. We used the regional MIDAS catalogue with a magnitude of completeness of 4.2. To resolve the b-value as a function of depth (one dimensional approach), we a...
