چکیده

The distribution of inter-occurrence time between seismic events is a quantity of great interest in seismic risk assessment. We evaluate this distribution for different models of earthquakes occurrence and follow two distinct approaches: The non homogeneous Poissonian and the non Poissonian one. In all cases we obtain either a power law or a power law damped by an exponential factor behaviour. This feature of the distribution makes impossible any prediction of earthquakes occurrence. Nevertheless it suggests the interpretation of the earthquake occurrence phenomenon as due to some non-linear dynamics to be further investigated.

Why Does Theoretical Physics Fail to Explain and Predict Earthquake Occurrence?

1. The multidimensional character of seismicity: time, space, and earthquake focal mechanism need to be modeled. The latter is a symmetric second-rank tensor of a special kind. 2. The intrinsic randomness of earthquake occurrence, necessitating the use of stochastic point processes and appropriate complex statistical techniques. 3. The scale-invariant or fractal properties of earthquake process...

We have found an empirical law for the variation of the length of the day with geologic time. The predication of law has been found to be in agreement with the hitherto known data. This law requires the age of the Universe to be 11 × 10 9 year old. The day increases at a present rate of 0.002 sec/century. The length of the day is found to be 6 hours when the earth formed.

Earthquakes and aftershock sequences follow several empirical scaling laws: One of these laws is Båth's law for the magnitude of the largest aftershock. In this work, Modified Form of Båth's Law and its application to KOERI data have been studied. Båth's law states that the differences in magnitudes between mainshocks and their largest detected aftershocks are approximately constant, independen...
