...Isadora A. S. de Macedo; Jose Jadsom S. de Figueiredo Abstract Benford’s law (BL) is a mathematical theory of leading digits. This law predicts that the distribution of first digits of real-world observations is not uniform and follows a trend in which measurements with a lower first digit (1, 2...

...J. Díaz; J. Gallart; M. Ruiz Benford’s law (BL), also known as the first‐digit law, is an intriguing pattern in data sets, first discovered more than a century ago then forgotten and rediscovered in the twentieth century. This law establishes that the frequency of occurrence of the first digit...

...A. Geyer; J. Martí Abstract Benford's law predicts that the distribution of first digits of real-world observations is not uniform, but instead the lower digits (1, 2, and 3) occur more frequently than the higher ones (… , 8, 9). It has been shown that the use of Benford's law may help...

..., pitches steeply downdip to the east. Removal of the effects of tilting due to Miocene and Holocene Basin and Range extension yields a subvertical foliation and lineation ( Tikoff et al., 2001 ). The WISZ extends from the Owyhee Mountains south of Boise ( Benford et al., 2010 ) to north of Riggins...

... frequency of earthquakes and decreasing sedimentation rate. This increase in stability is nonlinear (power law with b < 0.5), accelerating with decreasing interseismic sediment accumulation. The correlation is interpreted as evidence for sediment densification and associated shear strength gain induced...

Modified from Benford et al. (2012) . The Gonave microplate is bounded by the Cayman spreading center to the west, the Oriente...

... shear zone deformation. This change in orientation is consistent with fabrics to the north being oriented ∼000° ( Manduca et al., 1993 ; Giorgis et al., 2008 ) and fabrics to the south being oriented ∼020° ( Benford et al., 2010 ). We also provide the first quantitative constraints on deformation...

...-rich host rocks (based on a power-law exponent of 3.0 for this dislocation creep process). Detailed mapping also indicates that inclusion of up to 15% orthopyroxene in the olivine-rich host rocks does not affect their viscosity, constraining the rheological behavior of two-phase, mantle material...

The USGS focal mechanism has fault parameters 268, 43°, −58° for nodal plane 1 (henceforth named MNP1), and 47°, 54°, −116...

... dominated by strike‐slip motion, whereas transpressional deformation with significant plate boundary‐perpendicular shortening is observed around the EPGFZ in southern Haiti ( Calais et al. , 2010 ; Benford et al. , 2012 ). Between these two fault zones, there is a series of fold‐and‐thrust belts named...

... data (CPO, intragranular misorientation axes, CVA analyses) are consistent with dominantly simple shear deformation ( Lister and Hobbs, 1980 ; Law et al., 1984 ; Law, 2010 ), and when rotated into geographical space indicate reverse, top-to-the-southwest shearing on the Ahsahka shear zone...

... (the “border zone” suite of Gaschnig et al., 2010 ). The western Idaho shear zone continues south into the Owyhee Mountains in southwestern Idaho. Relative to the McCall segment, the shear zone in the northern Owyhee segment is wider, less well developed, and contains an 020-oriented foliation ( Benford...

... in converting mapped GIRs and unranked fault linework to fault linework with confidence rankings. Here, we discuss the rupture-to-fault separation distance based on our pre-rupture fault maps and compare these results to those of Petersen et al.
