It is important to note that the new model only predicts the maximum possible magnitude of an earthquake rather than what the earthquake magnitude will actually be, the researchers say. (caltech.edu)
«We tested each mechanism,» Tingay says, «and we show that the order of magnitude of the earthquake was too small to cause it. (discovermagazine.com)
New technologies allow us to study our region from space, to map the adjacent ocean floor, to look deeply into the Earth's interior, and to pinpoint the location and magnitude of earthquakes with great precision. (burkemuseum.org)
