Earthquakes: Slope coefficient, potential energy coefficient or latitude coefficient?

Abstract

Tangshan earthquake in China occurred with a periodicity of 297 years with focal depth of 11 km. An average of 0.10147 meter of earth crust is uplifted every day. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake was said to occur once every other 1100 years off the northeastern pacific coast of Japan with a focal depth of 20 km. An average of 0.04981 meter of earth’s crust is uplifted daily. These results can be viewed as slope coefficient or potential energy coefficient. Other coefficient such as latitude needs to be incorporated for theoretical calculations.
