Zusammenfassung |
Three aspects of
complexity are fractals, chaos, and self-organized criticality. There are
many examples of the applicability of fractals in solid-earth geophysics,
such as earthquakes and landforms. Chaos is widely accepted as being
applicable to a variety of geophysical phenomena, for instance, tectonics
and mantle convection. Several simple cellular-automata models have been
said to exhibit self-organized criticality. Examples include the sandpile,
forest fire and slider-blocks models. It is believed that these are
directly applicable to landslides, actual forest fires, and earthquakes,
respectively. The slider-block model has been shown to clearly exhibit
deterministic chaos and fractal behaviour. The concept of self-similar
cascades can explain self-organized critical behaviour. This approach also
illustrates the similarities and differences with critical phenomena
through association with the site-percolation and diffusion-limited
aggregation models. |
