Earthquake Downdip Rupture Width

The downdip rupture width is the average width of a rupture surface measured in the downdip direction.

The downdip rupture width is proportional to ten to the power of 0.32 times the seismic moment magnitude.

Formula

QuantityVariable["RW", "Width"] == 10^(-1.01 + 0.32*QuantityVariable[Subscript["M", "w"], "Unitless"])*Quantity[1, "Kilometers"]
