Figure B-1: Data for rupture area versus M from PEER-NGA finite fault model set. Symbol color denotes faulting style (black SS, red NM, and green RV). Black lines show fit and 90% confidence interval for fit to data. Blue dash-dot line shows Wells and Coppersmith (1994) relationship for all slip types. C&Y2006, Appendix B B-2

Figure B-2: Data for aspect ratio versus M from PEER-NGA finite fault model set. Symbol color denotes faulting style (black SS, red NM, and green RV). The next step was to locate the rupture plane in space. The vertical location of the simulated rupture with respect to the hypocenter was simulated using empirical distributions for hypocenter location derived from the PEER-NGA set of rupture models. The observed and smoothed empirical distributions are shown in Figure B-3. If the top of the simulated rupture plane extended above 0 depth, it was placed at 0 depth. The rupture plane dip was fixed at the value assigned to the earthquake. The location of the hypocenter along strike was simulated using data from Mai et al. (2005) for earthquakes ≤ M 6.5. This distribution is shown in Figure B-4. C&Y2006, Appendix B B-3
