Scaling Relationships Between Earthquake Magnitude And Surface Fault Rupture Dimensions For Intraplate Earthquakes In Stable Continental Regions And Their Implications

We have developed new and revised scaling relations<br>between moment magnitude (Mw) and documented<br>surface rupture length (SRL) and maximum vertical offset<br>(uv) specific for intraplate earthquakes occurring in stable<br>continental regions, using the ordinary least-squares<br>linear regression procedure based on an updated and<br>amended data set. The results of our linear regressions<br>are compared with similar relations both for interplate and<br>intraplate earthquakes and some inferences regarding the<br>Brazilian intraplate seismicity are undertaken, as well.
