| l | The seismic
moment is related to fundamental |

the faulting process. |

| MO
= µS‹d›, |
||||||||||
| where µ is
the shear strength of the faulted rock, S |
||||||||||
| is the area of
the fault, and ‹d› is the average |
||||||||||
| displacement
on the fault. |
||||||||||
| l | These
parameters are determined from waveform |
|||||||||
| analysis of
the seismograms produced by an |

| earthquake. |
