Analyzing the Collective Behavior of Earthquakes to Understand Fault Mechanisms Better
The Gutenberg-Richter law tells us that there is a tenfold increase in the number of earthquakes of magnitude 𝑚 > 𝑀 when 𝑀 decreases by one unit. Thus, the vast majority of earthquakes occur at magnitudes so small that the vibrations they cause can barely be recorded at the surface of Earth. Give...
