Quakes lack a fixed upper limit says MIT scientists
Two MIT researchers challenge the idea that great earthquakes have a capped magnitude. In Science and Seitzhe, they argue that records are incomplete and quakes may reach higher strengths than 8.6 or 8.7. They note that measurements have only crude tens for 70 years and suggest regional plate stresses drive large events.
