Systematic correlations of the earthquake frequency‐magnitude distribution with the deformation and mechanical regimes in the Taiwan orogen

Abstract We investigate the correlation of the earthquake frequency‐magnitude distribution with the style of faulting and stress in Taiwan. The b values estimated for three types of focal mechanisms show significant differences with the lowest for thrust, intermediate for strike slip, and highest va...
