Abstract Classical relationships between cumulative and maximum seismic moment, based on the Gutenberg‐Richter law, shows a non‐physical anomaly for low b‐values. We here derive new relationships, including a low and a high b‐value approximation.

Mechanochemical Enhancement of Siderite‐To‐Magnetite Conversion in Faults
Abstract Magnetic phases in fault rocks offer potential “geothermometers” for estimating frictional heating during fault slip. However, the thermochemical kinetics of magnetic minerals subjected to shear deformation in hydrothermal fluids‐conditions typical of natural faults ‐ remains poorly understood, hindering accurate temperature estimates.

Size‐Dependent Melting Behavior of Ultrafine Fault Rocks
Abstract Dynamic weakening during earthquake ruptures is essential for accommodating fault slip and controlling seismic energy release. This weakening is localized within narrow principal slip zones (PSZs) that commonly contain nanoparticles in both natural and experimental faults.

Dual Role of a Subducted Seamount in Megathrust Rupture Initiation and Rupture Barrier
Abstract Using high‐resolution 3D tomography and a relocated 2010–2022 earthquake catalog, we identify a seamount at 20–25 km depth beneath the Mompiche–Cojimíes region in the coastal forearc of Ecuador. This provides a rare, well‐resolved example of seamount preservation at these depths. The seamount coincides with a low interseismic‐coupling corridor

Differential Craton Destruction Controlled by Fossil Structures in the Central North China Craton
Abstract Craton evolution plays a fundamental role in stabilizing the continental lithosphere and the long‐term evolution of Earth's surface environment. The Shanxi Rift Zone (SRZ) within the North China Craton marks an ongoing craton destruction. Detailed lithospheric structure is essential to explain craton destruction.
