The spatial and temporal distributions between successive earthquakes are treated in the framework of nonextensive statistical mechanics. We find temporal distributions exhibit the power law behavior; q-exponential with q1. It means the earthquakes are strongly correlated in time. The spatial...

Studying earthquakes and the associated geodynamic processes based on the complex network theory enables us to learn about the universal features of the earthquake phenomenon. In addition, we can determine new indices for identification of regions geophysically. It was found that earthquake...
