摘要
[1] Discovery of a new law for the three-dimensional spatial distance between the foci of successive earthquakes is reported. Analyzing the seismic data taken between 1984 and 2001 in southern Californian, it is found that the cumulative distribution of the distances follows the modified Zipf-Mandelbrot law, showing complexity of geometry of the events.
