Аннотация:An analysis of the possible relationship between fractal dimensions of the active fault network,
spatial distribution of earthquake epicenters, and parameter b in the Gutenberg–Richter law is presented.
The quantitative characteristics of selfsimilarity of the seismic process and the active fault network of seis
mically active areas of Eurasia are obtained. This selfsimilarity manifests itself over a range of at least two
orders of spatial scales and magnitudes. The obtained estimations of the fractal dimensions of the fault net
work Df and epicenter field De are close for all the areas analyzed. It is established that the average value con
necting values D and b for all the investigated areas is slightly higher than the theoretical value (2.0) and varies
within the range of 1.7–2.4.
