Similarity in seismogeodynamics on different scales

Long-term research in the preparation of earthquakes of different energies with M = 3.5–7.9 within the Baikal rift zones shows that they are similar to each other and to microquakes with E = 1–103 J initiated on tectonic fault fragments in natural experiments. Moreover, detailed studies of slickensi...

Description
Summary:Long-term research in the preparation of earthquakes of different energies with M = 3.5–7.9 within the Baikal rift zones shows that they are similar to each other and to microquakes with E = 1–103 J initiated on tectonic fault fragments in natural experiments. Moreover, detailed studies of slickensides of dimensions 1–103 m2 in tectonic faults also demonstrate their physicomechanical similarity to each other and to nano- and microscale contact patches of different materials in laboratory experiments. The research results confirm the conclusion that there exists a similarity in the laws of contact interaction of different solids, including their stick-to-dynamic slip transition, from nanoscopic to geodynamic scales.
