Abstract: In the present study we investigated the character of variation of long-range correlations features in earthquakes’ temporal and spatial distribution in Caucasus. Scaling exponents of data sets of interearthquakes time intervals (waiting times) and interearthquakes distances were calculated by method of Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA). Scaling exponent values were calculated for time windows with consecutive 500 data as well as for 5 year long sliding windows.
