| Abstract: | An analysis of the possible relationship between fractal dimensions of the active fault network, spatial distribution of earthquake
epicenters, and parameter b in the Gutenberg-Richter law is presented. The quantitative characteristics of self-similarity of the seismic process and
the active fault network of seismically active areas of Eurasia are obtained. This self-similarity manifests itself over a
range of at least two orders of spatial scales and magnitudes. The obtained estimations of the fractal dimensions of the fault
network D
f
and epicenter field D
e
are close for all the areas analyzed. It is established that the average value connecting values D and b for all the investigated areas is slightly higher than the theoretical value (2.0) and varies within the range of 1.7–2.4. |
