<p>Understanding the cyclic and other forces governing geodynamics may provide fundamental clues for unraveling characteristics of earthquakes occurrence, which remains spectacular evidence induced by plate tectonics fueled by tidal drag and associated global cooling of the Earth (Riguzzi et al., 2010; Doglioni and Panza, 2015).</p><p>To check the hypotheses of earthquake-preferred days the nonparametric Kuiper test statistics for cyclic variations applied to the seismic evidence resulting from the empirical distributions of the earthquake origin time versus solar (Julian Day, JD) or lunar (Moon Phase, MP) cycles. We present the results of the Kuiper test application to seismicity of the Lake Baikal and Y&#250;nn&#225;n-Sichuan Regions aimed at verification on a solid statistical base the hypotheses of uniform distribution of earthquake origin time JD&#8217;s and MP&#8217;s in respect to the earthquake magnitude cut-off.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
