Earthquake Fault Slip Rate
Slip is defined as the relative movement of geological features present on either side of a fault plane, and is a displacement vector. A fault's sense of slip is defined as the relative motion of the rock on each side of the fault with respect to the other side.
The seismic moment magnitude varies with the logarithm of the fault slip rate.
