... where N is the number earthquakes of magnitude M, and a and b are constants. The avalue indicates the background level of seismicity (or activity rate), and the b-value characterises the ratio of small magnitude events to large events. In order to evaluate the a and b-values, the method used here de ...

Paleo stress analysis of reverse reactivated normal faults.
... problem with recognizing reverse reactivated faults (inverted faults for short) is, that not all the inverted faults can be recognized as such on seismic. A normal fault with an original throw of 100 m, that has been inverted 40 m, will show a normal throw of 60 m and no visible inversion component. ...
