Searching for the corner seismic moment in worldwide data
- 1. CEAUL Lisbon and ESTG, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (Portugal)
Description
In this paper the existence of the corner frequency value for the seismic moment distribution is investigated, analysing worldwide data. Pareto based distributions, usually considered as the most suitable to this type of data, are fitted to the most recent data, available in a global earthquake catalog. Despite the undeniable finite nature of the seismic moment data, we conclude that no corner frequency can be established considering the available data set
