Dreamer Posted July 9, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Earthquakes are pretty chaotic, in both the strict and general meanings of the term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Mediocre Posted July 17, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
