The Gutenberg–Richter law is a statistical relationship that describes the frequency-magnitude distribution of earthquakes. This law states that, in a given region and over a specified time period, the number of earthquakes (N) that are of a magnitude greater than or equal to a certain value (M) can be represented by an exponential function.
