M₀ = μ × A × D
M₀ = Seismic Moment
μ = Rigidity (rock stiffness)
A = Rupture Area
D = Average Slip
μ = Rigidity (rock stiffness)
A = Rupture Area
D = Average Slip
💡 Moment Analogy
🔧
Seismic moment is like the "turning force" when using a wrench.
Larger force (μ), longer wrench (A), and more rotation (D) create more moment!
