DISTRIBUTION LAWS OF RECURRENCE PERIODS AND MAGNITUDE SEQUENCE OF GREAT EARTHQUAKES IN MAINLAND CHINA AND ITS SURROUNDING REGIONS

  • In Mainland China and surrounding regions, the recurrence periods of great earthquakes obey nearly the normal distribution law with mathematical expectation m= 39.5 months and = 3.3 months (variance 2) within a seismic active time interval while the recurrence magnitude sequence may be described by a nonhomogeneous Markov chain.
