"The familiar linear relation (Gutenberg-Richter) between the logarithm \nof the number of earthquakes and their magnitude is commonly ascribed to the \ndistribution (fractal) of fault sizes in a self-similar process. We show that a concept \nof earthquake quanta whose failure is governed by simple physics and suggested by \nobservations explains not only the Gutenberg-Richter relation but also the relatively \nconstant stress drop for larger magnitude events. Results from computer simulation \nare consistent with observations from detailed seismicity studies."^^ . "1995-06" . "85" . "3" . . "Seismological Society of America"^^ . . .
