Peaks are seen in n at MS = 7.8 and 7.4. BelowMS = 7.4, n is small (From Singh et al., 1983).<strong>the</strong> region ruptures with this magnitude repeatedly without giving rise to smallermagnitude eaxthquakes in <strong>the</strong> proportion required by <strong>the</strong> GR relation. ProbablyOaxaca region provides <strong>the</strong> most clear seismological evidence in support of <strong>the</strong> ideaof characteristic earthquakes (Singh et d., 1983).
