Fig. 5From: Distribution of maximum earthquake magnitudes in future time intervals: application to the seismicity of Japan (1923–2007)Histogram of the magnitudes of the main shocks whose magnitude-frequency distribution is shown in Fig. 4. The discrete 0.1-bins are clearly visible. There are additional oscillations decorating the decay with magnitudes that require further coarse-graining, as explained in the text.Back to article page
