Large Megathrust Earthquakes Tend to Sustain an Increasingly Longer Duration Than Expected

Abstract The moment‐duration (M0‐T) scaling law reveals fundamental earthquake physics across various sizes and tectonic settings. However, the validity of the cubic relation (M0 ∝ T3) inferred for large (Mw ≥ 7) megathrust events has been recently questioned due to the scarcity of observations and...
