The Reliance of the Earthquake B-Value on Depth and Focal Mechanism

The earthquake size distribution (b-value) is a significant factor to recognize the seismic activity, seismotectonic, and seismic hazard assessment. In the current work, the connection of the b-constant value with the focal depth and mechanism was studied. The effect of the study scale (global, regi...
