Abstract:
In this paper, the energy structure of seismicity (ESS) in the Baikal region is studied within the framework of the self-similarity theory when the distribution of shocks is extrapolated by inverse cascade over the scale of K P energy classes similar to Kantor dust. It was shown that the Guttenberg–Richter law reflects self-similarity of the ESS, whose Hausdorff dimension D depends on the scale used to estimate the earthquake magnitude. If the slope of the recurrence plot b decreases, the Hausdorff dimension of the ESS asymptotically approaches D → 1. The stages of geophysical medium self-organization in the Baikal region lead to simplification of the ESS, which is caused by the regularity of the seismic process energy under the influence of strong shocks.
