Multifractal analysis of temporal and spatial characteristics of earthquakes in Eurasian seismic belt

Seismic activity has complexity and randomness, and its temporal and spatial distribution has complexity, stage, level, and inheritance. The study of the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of seismic activity is of great significance to the understanding of the law of seismic activity, such as the law that the time series of seismicity in the seismic belt is consistent with the complexity of geographical structure, the prediction of seismic risk, and other research related to earthquake. This article selects the seismic data catalog of the whole Eurasian seismic belt as the research object. Based on the characteristics of the seismic geological environment and tectonic environment characteristics, the multifractal analysis method is used for the seismic data of the seismic activity directory. The results show that the seismic activity of seismic zones has obvious multifractal structure of complex in time series and spatial scales, which can well reveal the seismic characteristics of seismic activity in time and space. In terms of time series, the study area decreases significantly with time and energy before the occurrence of a large earthquake, and the time series of seismic activity in the study area is highly complex and highly correlated with the geological structure. Spatially, the spatial distribution of seismic intensity in the study area is infinite and sparse, showing the characteristics of infinite clustering. Therefore, it can reveal the basic rule of seismic activity effectively and lay a certain theoretical foundation for earthquake prevention and control in this seismic zone.
