Seismic moment, seismicity, and rate of slip along major fault zones
Abstract
A straightforward method for computing rates of slip from earthquakes in major fault zones is presented. The slip rate is calculated from the sum of moments for the earthquakes. Rates obtained are in approximate agreement with rates obtained from geodetic measurements or magnetic anomalies, provided that long time samples are considered and provided that adjustments are made in the vertical extent of the zone of earthquake generation. For some fault zones, particularly deep island arc shear zones, strain is perhaps being relieved by steady creep, whereas, in other fault zones, e.g., the San Andreas, strain is accumulating for a large earthquake. The zone of earthquake generation for oceanic transform faults may be as little as 5 km in vertical extent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
