Abstract. Generation of earthquakes has not been still understood. However, some statistical properties of seismicity are established such as magnitude-frequency distribution indicating power law. In this study, we numerically investigate one-dimensional spring-block earthquake model, considering self-affine fault surfaces, in order to understand such statistical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
