Abstract Earthquakes are measured using well-defined seismic parameters such as seismic moment (\(M_o\)), moment magnitude (\(M_w\)), and released elastic energy (E). However, the mechanism by which this tremendous energy accumulates deep within the Earth’s crust remains unclear and is one of the most fundamental open questions in seismological research. We investigate a quantitative link between earthquake radiated energy and the generalized Pourbaix electrochemical potential.
