Slip distribution and adopted scaling law of interplate earthquakes. a Gaussian slip distribution defined along fault strike. b Scaling relationships between fault area (solid line), fault length (dashed line), fault width (dotted line), and earthquake magnitude. Values are expressed in kilometer scale for readability. c Scaling relationships between the peak (solid line) and average slip (dashed line) of earthquake faults and earthquake magnitude
