Exact excerpt

We compile 35 seismic reflection profiles at 15 subduction margins globally. ... The area constrained by 100 km along strike distance and 10–50 km depth down-dip ... is used to assess the maximum earthquake magnitude and interface coupling. ... The cross-plot of these two observables shows a positive linear correlation as suggested by the linear least-squares fitting with a high factor of R2 = 0.65.
