Relationships Among Magnitudes and Seismic Moment of Earthquakes in the Taiwan Region

The seismic moments (Mo), body-wave magnitudes (mb), and surfacewave magnitudes (Ms) of 201 Taiwan earthquakes with 4.8 ≤_nmb ≤_n6.6 published in the Global CMT catalog from 1976 to 2006 are used to study the correlations among the three source parameters. The resultant relationships are: log(Mo) =...
