We examined how the relationships systematically change among the moment magnitude
MW, the Japan Meteorological Agency magnitude
MJ, and the short-period magnitude
m for inland earthquakes classified by fault type. The examination was extended to the relationships among the magnitudes for inter-plate earthquakes and to those for slab earthquakes. It was found out that
MJ was about 0.5 larger than
MW in inland earthquakes caused by strike-slip faults,
MJ was about 0.2 larger than
MW in inland earthquakes caused by dip-slip faults,
m was about 0.2 smaller than
MW in inland earthquakes caused by strike-slip faults, and
m was about 0.1 larger than
MW in inland earthquakes caused by dip-slip faults. We applied these relationships to the procedure for evaluating fault parameters, and showed two examples of strong motions predicted for strike-slip and dip-slip faults 40 km long.
