A Geometric Frequency-Magnitude Scaling Transition: Measuring b=1.5 for Large Earthquakes
Yoder, M. R.,Holliday, J. R.,Turcotte, D. L.,Rundle, J. B.
We identify two distinct scaling regimes in the frequency-magnitude distribution of global earthquakes. Specifically, we measure the scaling exponent b=1.0 for "small" earthquakes with 5.5
