  • What is a DMFRP (distribution, magnitude, frequency, regularity, predictability)

    D- along plate boundaries (90%) or intraplate/ hot spots (10%)
    M/F- around 15, magnitudes 7-7.9, earthquakes per year and 130, magnitudes 6-6.9, earthquakes per year.
    R- random, no pattern
    P- Can't predict when only where they are going to occur and maybe secondary impacts
