Table 3 Regression of SRL (Surface Rupture Length), magnitude (Ms/M) and vertical displacement (MVD/MD) calculated for Rahmiye and Ören faults regardless of modeling

From: Seismic history of western Anatolia during the last 16 kyr determined by cosmogenic 36Cl dating

 

SRL/FL

7 km

40 km

100 km

Sin (θ) = vertical displacement/slip

Rahmiye fault (θ = 64°)

Ören fault (θ = 58°)

Pavlides and Caputo (2004)

Ms = 0.9 × Log (SRL) + 5.48 (Eq. 1)

6.2

6.9

7.3

Log (MVD) = 1.14 × Ms–7.82 (Eq. 2)

MVD = 0.2

Slip = 0.2

MVD = 1.2

Slip = 1.3

MVD = 3.0

Slip = 3.6

Wells and Coppersmith (1994)

M = 4.86 + 1.32 × log (SRL) (Eq. 3)

6.0

7.0

7.5

Log (MD) =–5.90 + 0.89 × M (Eq. 4)

MD (Slip) = 0.3

MD (Slip) = 2.0

MD (Slip) = 6

  1. The unit of slip, MVD and MD is in meters
  2. MVD (maximum vertical displacement) is converted to slip or MD (maximum displacement) by applying fault surface dip (sin (θ) = maximum vertical displacement/slip)
