%X A seismological model is developed for earthquakes induced by subsurface reservoir volume  changes. The approach is based on the work of Kostrov (1974) and McGarr (1976) linking total strain to the  summed seismic moment in an earthquake catalog. We refer to the fraction of the total strain expressed as  seismic moment as the strain partitioning function,
