What are the key factors or parameters of fault rupture that influence the size of an earthquake?

magnitude, location

Explanation:

Fault rupture or ground raptures are those that visible offset the ground surface when an earthquake occurs at a buried rapture. where there is no displacement of ground levels.

Types of faults are

1. Normal faulting is a simple fault scarp of superficial deposits that give rise to rise to surface graben.

2. Reverse faulting is a more complex surface rapture, which is liable to collapse like a back-thrust development.

3. Strike-slip faulting is associated with dominantly horizontal movement, occur in en-echelon faults

All these impacts the

size of the earthquake, the rate of all potential earthquakes, the distance of the site and the complexity of the fault.
