“…We should mention that for the depth-wise distances, the scatters of the parameter s and standard error V for different magnitudes are higher than for the epicentral distances. This is connected with the higher errors in the determination of depths than epicenters, and, probably with the depth-wise nonuniformity of the stress fields, which increase probability of dynamic events triggered due to rock pressure [22,23], which may lead to variations in the depth-wise decrease in the number of triggered events characterized by the parameter s. In any case, for the epicentral distances (see fig. 1) and depth-wise distances (see fig.…”
