Independently of the magnitude value, this scaling relationship returns always a very small value (1e-4 squared km, corresponding to a 10 by 10 m square) for the median area. NOTE: This scaling-relationship is meant to be used in area and point sources to mimic point ruptures. Is not intended to be used in fault sources, as it would require a fault surface discretization step to small (less than 10 m, using an aspect ratio equal to 1) which is unfeasible for realistic applications.
