RELATIONS AMONG EARTHQUAKE SOURCE PARAMETERS DERIVED FROM THE DEBYE SOLID-BODY MODEL

Abstract

On the basis of seismic data analysis and the Debye model of solid bodies it is proved for the first time that fundamental connections exist between the source volume, elastic waves distribution velocity, boundary vibrational frequency, seismic energy, magnitude and seismic moment. These connections allow the compilation of a system of self-coordinated quantitative ratios.
