The Gutenberg–Richter law and the Omori are both characterized by a scaling behavior. However, their relation is still an open question. Although several hypotheses have been formulated, comprehensive geophysical mechanism missing to explain observed variability of exponents b-value p-value, e.g., correlating seismic cycle statistical seismology tectonic processes. In this work, model for descr...

Introduction: Extensional fault scarps on Mars bear a striking resemblance to fault scarps on Earth, including geometric features such as horsts, grabens, relay ramps and breached relay ramps, en echelon arrangement of faults and grabens, and scaling characteristics [1], [2], [3]. Other surface features associated with extensional faulting on Mars are lines (" chains ") of circular topo-graphic...

The Newport-lnglewood fault zone (NIF) strikes northwest along the western margin of the Los Angeles basin in southern California. The seismicity (1973 to 1985) of M, _-> 2.5 that occurred within a 20-kin-wide rectangle centered on the NIF extending from the Santa Monica fault in the north to Newport Beach in the south is analyzed. A simultaneous full inversion scheme (VELEST) is used to invert...
