Abstract

The sensitivity of emergent behavior of fault networks to changes in the physics on the scale of single faults or smaller was studied. It was shown that the statistical distribution of large earthquakes on a model of a topologically complex, strongly correlated real fault network is highly sensitive to the precise nature of the stress dissipation properties of the friction laws associated with individual faults.
