Multifractal Omori Law for Earthquake Triggering: New Tests on the California, Japan and Worldwide Catalogs
SUMMARY The Multifractal Stress-Activated (MSA) model is a statistical model of triggered seismicity based on mechanical and thermodynamic principles. It predicts that, above a triggering magnitude cutoff M 0 , the exponent p of the Omori law for the seismic decay of aftershocks is a linear increasing function p(M) = aM + b of the main shock magnitude M. We previously reported empirical support...
متن کاملMagnitude-Dependent Omori Law: Empirical Study and Theory
We propose a new physically-based “multifractal stress activation” model of earthquake interaction and triggering based on two simple ingredients: (i) a seismic rupture results from activated processes giving an exponential dependence on the local stress; (ii) the stress relaxation has a long memory. The combination of these two effects predicts in a rather general way that seismic decay rates ...
متن کاملA hypothesis for delayed dynamic earthquake triggering
[1] It’s uncertain whether more near-field earthquakes are triggered by static or dynamic stress changes. This ratio matters because static earthquake interactions are increasingly incorporated into probabilistic forecasts. Recent studies were unable to demonstrate all predictions from the static-stress-change hypothesis, particularly seismicity rate reductions. However, current dynamic stress ...
متن کاملConstraints on the Size of the Smallest Triggering Earthquake from the ETAS Model, B̊ath’s Law, and Observed Aftershock Sequences
The physics of earthquake triggering together with simple assumptions of self-similarity impose the existence of a minimum magnitude m0 below which earthquakes do not trigger other earthquakes. Noting that the magnitude md of completeness of seismic catalogs has no reason to be the same as the magnitude m0 of the smallest triggering earthquake, we use quantitative fits and maximum likelihood in...
متن کاملEarthquake clusters in southern California II: Classification and relation to physical properties of the crust
[1] This is a second paper in a study of statistical identification and classification of earthquake clusters using a relocated catalog of 1981–2011 seismicity in southern California and synthetic catalogs produced by the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence model. Here we focus on classification of event families—statistically significant clusters composed of foreshocks, mainshocks, and aftershoc...
