What's the "typical" size of, for lack of a better term, a "tectonic earthquake"--an earthquake acting to build up the tectonic structures typically studied by structural geology?

@BrandonTBishop what % of permanent strain is coseismic?
@KeepItRheol @BrandonTBishop What keeps me up at night is what % of permanent strain in the upper crust is accrued at low strain rates interseismically...
@_absrp @KeepItRheol @BrandonTBishop funny you should mention that 😉 I’ll be looking for a postdoc very very soon to try answer this through numerical modeling… stay tuned!
@_absrp @KeepItRheol @BrandonTBishop I love this question.
@_absrp @BrandonTBishop yah that's "missing" plate motion that's actually not counted in a plate boundary slip budget
