Earthquake modeling on a fictitious extraterrestrial moon

+0
−0

Thanks in advance for any input you can provide!

I have a moon called Vieneo http://www.risetvp.com/Vieneo which has some geological modelling of faults and epicenters over some range of time:

Vieneo Faults and Earthquake Epicenters

What we are trying to determine is what affects the theoretical maximum energy release these epicenters represent. For example, the Richter-scale goes to 10.0 but largest value we have seen on Earth is 9.5. Based on size, density, composition, hydrology, etc... what would would you expect the maximum Vieneo quake to be on the Richter-scale?

  • Mean radius: 2939.6 km (0.46x Earth)
  • Mass: 1.46x1024 kg (0.243x Earth)
  • Density: 13.78 g/cm3 (2.5x Earth)
  • Hydrosphere: 13% (darkest areas are low elevations)
