The earthquakes network: Retrieving the empirical seismological laws

Here we try to show that the main statistical features of earthquake phenomena in any region can be retrieved from the associated earthquakes network. In the first attempt we draw out the Gutenberg–Richter law from the Abe–Suzuki model for the earthquakes network and the Omori law from the Telesca–L...

Description
Summary:Here we try to show that the main statistical features of earthquake phenomena in any region can be retrieved from the associated earthquakes network. In the first attempt we draw out the Gutenberg–Richter law from the Abe–Suzuki model for the earthquakes network and the Omori law from the Telesca–Lovallo network model. Then we introduce a hybrid model for constructing the earthquakes network and extract both laws simultaneously from the same network model. Moreover, we obtain some other laws in terms of the network characteristics which have no counterparts among the standard seismological laws. •We introduce a hybrid model for constructing the earthquakes network that incorporates the temporal and spacial properties of earthquakes.•The statistical seismological laws can be retrieved from the earthquakes network.•We obtain some other laws in terms of the network characteristics.
