Abstract

The physical analysis of earthquakes is essential for the exploration of the interior structure of a region. Nowadays, the statistics of earthquakes’ occurrence are dominated by the Gutenberg–Richter (GR) law. Here, we report evidence of the similarity between earthquakes and marsquakes by using the generalized GR law in the context of Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics. We analyze the Martian quakes that were recorded by the InSight’s seismometer in the Elysium Planitia region, Mars, from January 2019 to December 2019, which corresponds to the first year of geophysical observations by Nasa’s InSight mission. The results show evidence for the similarity between the triggering mechanism of earthquakes and marsquakes. They also reveal the fractal nature of the Martian geological faults.

非扩展的古腾堡-里希特定律以及地震与地震之间的联系

摘要

地震的物理分析对于探索一个区域的内部结构至关重要。如今，地震发生的统计数据以古腾堡-里希特（GR）法为主导。在这里，我们通过在Tsallis非广义统计力学的背景下使用广义GR规律来报告地震和地震之间相似性的证据。我们分析了2019年1月至2019年12月InSight地震仪在火星极乐世界范围内InSight地震仪记录的火星地震，这对应于美国国家航空航天局（NASA）InSight任务进行地球物理观测的第一年。结果表明，地震和地震的触发机制具有相似性。它们还揭示了火星地质断层的分形性质。
