Seismological Stress Drops for Confined Ruptures Are Invariant to Normal Stress
Abstract Seismic moment and rupture length can be combined to infer stress drop, a key parameter for assessing earthquakes. In natural earthquakes, stress drops are largely depth‐independent, which is surprising given the expected dependence of frictional stress on normal stresses and hence overburd...
