Quantifying New Zealand’s fault lines: fractal dimension and orientation
The surface of New Zealand is dissected by a complex network of fault lines. Understanding the mathematics behind this pattern could lead to better prediction of earthquakes, both large and small, that shake the country on an average of 14,000 times a year. The object of this thesis is to investigat...
