Earthquake Source Parameters

Earthquake Source Parameters is a geophysical construct that quantifies the physical characteristics of an earthquake's origin, including magnitude, focal mechanism, rupture extent, and stress drop, thereby distinguishing it from other seismic descriptors by specifying the fundamental attributes of the seismic event's generation process.
