Influence of depth on the time delay before the onset of the power-law aftershock decay rate along major strike-slip faults in California. a Logarithm of the most probable c-value for p = 1 with respect to the mean depth of the selected aftershocks within the 3 km depth bins along individual faults. Error bars show the 95% Bayesian credibility regions for the c-value. b Major strike-slip faults in California and location of the selected mainshocks (colour code as in a)
