Dreamer Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Is it possible for an earthquake to be defined as linear/non-chaotic phenomena? sorry for the weird phrasing, i'm not a physicist.
JaKiri Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Earthquakes are pretty chaotic, in both the strict and general meanings of the term.
Mr_Mediocre Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 Frequency vs magnitude for earthquakes follows a log scale. If you have columns of magnitude and frequency and plot the log of both variables you should get a straight line. I think it's called "following a 1/f pattern". Little ones happen lots, big ones happen rarely. oops...unless you were talking about the dynamics of a single earthquake.
