Large triangles. Right! That too.

Yay, having one’s brain farts preserved for posterity on the Internet.

In answer to jtin’s query, the *large* gray triangles are areas for which two of the studies would have excluded earthquakes due to a selection bias. That is, they are parts of the diagram from which there may be missing data points.

[...] And of course, a good deal of very interesting physics (albeit of a different sort) goes into fields of inquiry that some would consider unconventional, like geophysics. These two posts dealing with earthquakes and volcanoes touch on this to a certain extent. The latter is particularly interesting, looking into the various possible triggers for volcanoes (and drawing connections between large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, motivated by a fictional account of Charles Darwin’s journey on The Beagle).

The grey triangles are the data as originally published by Gibowicz et al; they were reanalyzed by Ide and Beroza, and republished as the black triangles. Their reanalysis turned a definite upward trend into a relatively flat jumble of points.

I think it’s been optioned by the people who did The Core.

Nothing like a technical post to kill the peanut gallery, eh? Who has the empty square box trend, which would shatter the planet if extrapolated up to the big magnitudes? Discovery channel? New Scientist?
