Abstract
We analyze the distribution of volcanic earthquake recurrence intervals in the
Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei, and Hawaii regions and compare it with tectonic recurrence rates
in California. We find that the distribution behavior is similar for volcanic and tectonic
seismic events. In both cases, the recurrence interval distributions collapse onto the same
master curve if time is rescaled by the average occurrence rate. This implies that both
phenomena have the same temporal organization, and it is possible to adopt for volcanic
areas that the same occurrence models used for tectonic regions.
