| Zusammenfassung |
| To reveal the preparatory processes of large inland earthquakes, we
systematically applied the pattern informatics (PI) method to earthquake data
of Japan. We focused on 12 large earthquakes with magnitudes greater than
M = 6.4 (based on the magnitude scale of the Japan Meteorological Agency)
that occurred at depths shallower than 30 km between 2000 and 2010. We
examined the relationship between the spatiotemporal locations of these large
shallow earthquakes and the locations of PI hotspots, which correspond to
grid cells of anomalous seismic activity during a designated time span. Based
on a statistical test conducted using Molchan's error diagram, we
investigated whether precursory anomalous seismic activity occurred in
association with these large earthquakes and, if so, studied the
characteristic time spans of such activity. Our results indicate that
Japanese inland earthquakes with M ≥ 6.4 are typically preceded by
anomalous seismic activity in timescales of 8–10 years. |
