They were obtained in recent years through the joint use of the Prediction geoinformation system and the developed two-stage phenomenological model for the periods of preshock preparation of earthquakes. This model was created based on the analysis of seismological data on the preparation of the most dangerous local earthquakes that occurred in the Baikal rift zone. It is consistent with results obtained in the study of seismic regimes of ice shock preparation on the ice cover of Lake Baikal and in conducting field experiments on fault sections with the aim of clarifying the physical and mechanical conditions for the emergence of sources of seismic-range wave-oscillation generation. The paper provides an example of practical use of the obtained results of earthquake forecasting, as well as methods of clarifying seismic-hazard assessments in relation to infrastructure in the city of Angarsk, located 100 km from the seismically dangerous Main Sayan Fault (MSF), in the zone of which, during the analysis of the seismic regime, a “locked” segment with a seismic gap was identified. In accordance with its linear dimensions with a length of 60 km, according to two assumed equations of relationships <i>L</i>/<i>M</i>, estimates of energy potential were calculated, the maximum values of which correspond to the values <i>M</i>_max = 7.1 and 7.8. It is shown that the use of the obtained earthquake-forecast results helps to clarify the level of seismic hazard for the nearest time intervals of expectation of earthquakes with different values <i>M</i>_max. An example of assessing the current seismic hazard using a medium-term forecast for the infrastructure of the city of Angarsk is considered for possible seismic tremors from the south-eastern section of the MSF zone for the next 10 and 50 years.

This similarity property presumably reflects fractal structure of the fault system in which earthquake sources are formed. The Gutenberg–Richter law plays a key role in the problems of seismic hazard and risk assessment. Using the Gutenberg–Richter relationship, we can estimate the average recurrence period of strong earthquakes from the recurrence rate of weaker earthquakes. Since the strongest earthquakes occur infrequently, with intervals of a few hundred years or more, it is not possible to directly assess their recurrence. From indirect geologic and paleoseismic estimates it often seems that strong earthquakes on individual faults occur more frequently than expected in accordance with the Gutenberg–Richter law. Such estimates underlie the hypothesis of the so-called characteristic earthquakes. This hypothesis is in many cases additionally supported by the form of the magnitude–frequency distributions for individual faults, constructed from the data of modern earthquake catalogs. At the same time, an important factor affecting the form of the magnitude–frequency distribution is the choice of the spatial domain in which the distribution is constructed. This paper investigates the influence of this factor and determines the conditions under which the Gutenberg–Richter law is applicable for estimating the recurrence of strong earthquakes.</p>","PeriodicalId":602,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth","volume":"60 5","pages":"823 - 835"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1134/S1069351324700757.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
