Fig. 4: Moment-duration scaling relationship of SSARs.
From: The slow self-arresting nature of low-frequency earthquakes
The yellow strip denotes the linear scaling of slow earthquakes reported by Ide et al. 200724. The blue strip denotes the cubic scaling of regular earthquakes. The pink dots denote the SSARs with rupture patch diameters ranging from 200 m to 9 km. The blue, green, orange, and yellow dots show the scaling of SSARs we used before to simulate the LFEs. The blue, green, orange, and yellow dots denote simulated earthquakes with rupture diameter 300 m, 260 m, 220 m, and 180 m, respectively. The orange dashed line shows the fitting result of SSARs. The red rectangle is the area of magnitude and duration consistent with LFEs. The green rectangle is the area of magnitude and duration consistent with VLFs, and the brown rectangle is the area of magnitude and duration consistent with SSEs.
