The b-value as an earthquake precursor

Abstract

A systematic study of b-values in New Zealand has shown that within the vicinity of forthcoming large earthquakes there is initially an increase in b and then a return to normal The Caracas and San Fernando earthquakes show the same phenomenon, which is related to that of seismic gaps.
