The distribution of earthquake magnitudes in California between 1910 and 1992.
Details
" 'Magnitude of earthquakes: The cumulative distribution of the Richter (local) magnitude of earthquakes occurring in California between January 1910 and May 1992, as recorded in the Berkeley Earthquake Catalog. The Richter magnitude is defined as the logarithm, base 10, of the maximum amplitude of motion detected in the earthquake. ... The data are from the National Geophysical Data Center, www.ngdc.noaa.gov.' Quoted from: Newman, M. (2005). Power laws, Pareto distributions and Zipf’s law.
