We compare the relationship between the model parameters of the two earthquakes, namely the fault rupture areas (A), length (L), and slip rate (S), calculated using empirical scaling laws models with the estimated earthquake magnitude. The different maximum magnitudes resulting from the empirical scaling models suggest that using a proper scaling relationship is very important for estimating the maximum magnitude for strike-slip faults in Myanmar. This study demonstrates that earthquake magnitude from strike-slip faults in Myanmar is controlled by the fault rupture length and slip rate.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Earthquake events,Earthquake magnitudes,Empirical scaling,Fault rupture area,Maximum magnitudes,Myanmars,Scaling relationships,Strike-slip earthquakes[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Empirical scaling laws relationship,Maximum magnitude,Myanmar,Strike-slip faults[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]We are very grateful to two anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful reviews, which substantially improved the manuscript.
