Investigation of depth distribution of Kamchatka earthquakes on the basis of probabilistic model of seismicity

  1. Institute of Cosmophysical Researches and Radio Wave Propagation FEB RAS

On the basis of the probability-theoretical approach to the catalog of Kamchatka earthquakes we calculated
the mathematical expectations and root mean square deviations of depth of seismic events occurred during
1962-2009 in eight seismic areas along the eastern coast of Kamchatka. The obtained time series of statistical
parameters were analyzed and compared with the depths of the strongest earthquakes that occurred during the
considered period.
