From: Fatality rates of the M w ~8.2, 1934, Bihar–Nepal earthquake and comparison with the April 2015 Gorkha earthquake

Fig. 6

Fatality rate from the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake (Rana 1935) as a function of the mean MSK intensity estimated from Ambraseys and Douglas (2004). The black diamonds correspond to the 1934 earthquake and the red diamonds to the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. The full lines correspond to the scaling laws proposed by Shiono (1995). See text for discussions on the biases—significant for the Kathmandu valley—introduced by the “estimated MSK intensity” reference frame
