Summary: | The San Andreas fault (SAF) in the USA is one of the most investigated self-organizing systems in Nature. In this paper, the researchers studied some geophysical properties of the SAF system in order to analyze the behavior of earthquakes in the context of Tsallis's q-Triplet. To this end, they considered 134,573 earthquake events in the magnitude interval 2 ≤ m < 8, taken from the Southern Earthquake Data Center. The values obtained reveal that the q^sub stat^-Gaussian behavior of the aforementioned data exhibit long-range temporal correlations. Moreover, q^sub sen^ exhibits quasi-monofractal behavior with a Hurst exponent of 0.87. |
