Prediction of large earthquakes probability improved

Prediction of large earthquakes probability improved Barcelona, Spain (SPX) Feb 01, 2017 - The probability of an earthquake occurring exponentially decreases as its magnitude value increases. Fortunately, mild earthquakes are more probable than devastatingly large ones. This relation between probability and earthquake magnitude follows a mathematical curve called the Gutenberg-Richter law, and helps seismologists predict the probabilities of an earthquake of a specific magnitude occur ... more
