The pecularities of shear crack pre-rupture evolution and distribution of seismicity before strong earthquakes

Several methods are presently suggested for investigating pre-earthquake evolution of the regions of high tectonic activity based on analysis of the seismicity spatial distribution. Some precursor signatures are detected before strong earthquakes: decrease in fractal dimension of the continuum...
