Time Interval Distribution of Earthquakes
Sumiyoshi Abe, Norikazu Suzuki
TL;DR
This paper investigates the statistical distribution of time intervals between major earthquakes and finds they follow a Zipf-Mandelbrot-Tsallis distribution, revealing underlying patterns in seismic activity.
Contribution
It introduces the Zipf-Mandelbrot-Tsallis distribution as a model for earthquake interval times, providing a new perspective on seismic event timing.
Findings
Time intervals follow Zipf-Mandelbrot-Tsallis distribution
Distribution captures statistical properties of earthquake timing
Suggests underlying universal pattern in seismic activity
Abstract
The statistical properties of time intervals between significant earthquakes are found to be described by the Zipf-Mandelbrot-Tsallis-type distribution.
