| Abstract: | Seismicity is recognized to be a complex natural phenomenon either in space,
time and energy domains: earthquakes occur as a sudden energy release after
a strongly variable time period of stress accumulation, in locations not deterministically
defined, with magnitude range spanning over several orders. But
seismicity is certainly not a pure random process: spatial locations of events
clearly display correlations with tectonic structures at all scales (from plates
borders to small faults settings); on the other hand time evolution is clearly
linked with strongest shocks occurrence and energy distribution displays hierarchical
features. Although it is still not possible to propose deterministic
models for earthquakes, well established statistical relations constrain seismicity
under very specific and intriguing relations. |
