Part 4 - Problem 07: It is stated that “Grid, slab, and other sources without a defined m and r should be grouped in the “Other” category”. Just for example, for T1 – the deaggregation results on the USGS website do not show a defined m and r for two source sets with the type “fault”. However, when the deaggregation report is download, the m and r are given for them. Should this be counted/not counted as having a defined m and r?

Question

Accepted Answer

That part of the assignment should only be referring to what appears on the webpage, not the downloaded report. Please keep those fault sources without m and r presented on the webpage (such as “Geologic Model Full Rupture”) in the Other category. These are expected to be minor sources and may not always represent actual mapped faults.
