Seismic moments of major earthquakes and the average rate of slip in central Asia
Abstract
Seismic moments for 12 major earthquakes (M ≥ 7.6) in central Asia from 1911 to 1967 were calculated from long-period Rayleigh and Love wave spectral densities. With fault lengths estimated from geological field observations of surface faulting, intensity distributions, or master event relocations of aftershocks, the calculated moments place bounds on the average slip and fault widths. The following table summarizes the calculated moments, estimated fault lengths, and inferred possible average displacements.

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.
