Power Law Distributions of Seismic Rates

open access: yes, 2004
We report an empirical determination of the probability density functions $P_{\text{data}}(r)$ of the number $r$ of earthquakes in finite space-time windows for the California catalog. We find a stable power law tail $P_{\text{data}}(r) \sim 1/r^{1+\mu}$
