  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;A finite-fault statistical model of the earthquake source is used to confirm observed magnitude and distance saturation scaling in a large peak-acceleration data set. This model allows us to determine the form of peak-acceleration attenuation curves without&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;a priori&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;assumptions about their shape or scaling properties. The source is composed of patches having uniform size and statistical properties. The primary source parameters are the patch peak-acceleration distribution mean, the distribution standard deviation, the patch size, and patch-rupture duration. Although our model assumes no scaling of peak acceleration with magnitude at the patch, the peak-acceleration attenuation curves, nevertheless, strongly scale with magnitude (&lt;i&gt;da&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;/dM&lt;/i&gt;) ≠ 0, and the scaling is distance dependent (&lt;i&gt;da&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;/dM&lt;/i&gt;) ∝&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;f&lt;/i&gt;(&lt;i&gt;r&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
