4. in to previous questions, we discuss the mainshock in the 2019 ridgecrest earthquake
sequence. the moment magnitude (mw) of the earthquake was 7.1. in the following
questions, we will consider two hypothetical scenarios similar to the ridgecrest
earthquake mainshock in many ways, and try to see if they are plausible.
a) if the magnitude of the ridgecrest earthquake mainshock were 8.2 instead of 7.1,
but the average slip, fault width, and shear modulus remain the same as in question
3, what would the along-strike length of the earthquake fault be in that case? (15
pts)
could it have fit within the entire state of california (note—california is around 1300
km long)? is this scenario likely? why or why not? (5 pts)
average slip : 2.7m
fault width: 10: 10 13
m
b) if the magnitude of the ridgecrest earthquake mainshock were 8.2 instead of 7.1.
and the fault width, along-strike length, and shear modulus remain the same as in
question 3, what would the average slip on the earthquake fault be in that case? (10
pts) (hint: use your answer in questions 3 as the condition for "along strike length"
in this question)
is this scenario likely, given that the largest slip inferred in the m 9 earthquake that
recently hit japan was around 50 m? why or why not? (5 pts)
