Non-extensivity analysis of seismicity within four subduction regions in Mexico

Dynamical Features of the Seismicity in Mexico by Means of the Visual Recurrence Analysis

“…More similar RP structures are dysplayed in M, G and O, which seems to show more stability because the respectives RP are more uniform which could be indicating that the dynamics is driven by the interacion between the Cocos plate which subducts in the same direction beneath the North America plate and the dip angle of the Cocos plate decreases gradually. Our findings are consistent with the results reported in [11] where an analysis of non extensive model of the similar regions were studied indicating that JC region is the most unstable seismic zone in Mexico. The distribution function associated with the distances between states in phase space allows us to observe the most likely value, and suggest a other possible criterion for determining characteristics distances among all states in the phase space and to determine the ε-value in the definition of the matrix recurrence (Ec.…”

“…Taking into account the Geophysical structure, the seismic activity and the bvalues in the Gutemberg-Richter law, in this work, six selected regions have been considered. These six regions are named: Baja California (Z1), Jalisco-Colima (Z2), Michoacán (Z3), Guerrero (Z4) and Oaxaca (Z5) and Chiapas (Z6), the first one corresponds with a dispersion zone and the other ones are subduction regions, [11]. The analyzed data set in this work correspond with the Mexican catalogue which is complete for magnitudes greater than 3, within the mentioned period.…”

Nonextensivity at the Circum-Pacific subduction zones—Preliminary studies

“…Telesca [38,39], Telesca and Chen [40], Telesca [41], Telesca et al [42] and Valverde-Esparza et al [43] used the same formulation to analyze the seismicity in Italy, Taiwan, Southern California, Morroco and Mexico, respectively. The same model was also used by Papadimitriou et al [44] for preseismic electromagnetic emissions, by Telesca [45] to analyze seismic sequences and by Vallianatos et al [4,46] in laboratory scale and analyzing volcanic seismicity respectively.…”

A Nonextensive Statistical Physics Analysis of the 1995 Kobe, Japan Earthquake

“…The fragment-asperity model has been applied to various earthquake catalogs (SILVA et al 2006;VILAR et al 2007;TELESCA 2010aTELESCA , b, c, 2011TELESCA , 2012MICHAS et al 2013; In the fragment-asperity model framework the nonextensive parameter q M informs us about the scale of interactions between the fault planes and the fragments (MATCHARASHVILI et al 2011;PAPADAKIS et al 2013;TELESCA 2010b, c;VALVERDE-ESPARZA et al 2012). Thus, the increase of q M indicates that the physical state of a seismic area moves away from equilibrium.…”
