2004), Are seismic waiting time distributions universal

We show that seismic waiting time distributions in California and Iceland have many features in common as, for example, a power-law decay with exponent α ≈ 1.1 for intermediate and with exponent γ ≈ 0.6 for short waiting times. While the transition point between these two regimes scales proportional...
