Abstract: This paper focuses on the relationships among global strong earthquakes, elevation and crustal thickness. The earthquake frequencies under different elevations and crustal thicknesses are counted. The results show that the elevation-based earthquake frequency has two maxima when the elevation e∈(−2000,−1600) and e∈(−400,0), and the crustal thickness-based earthquake frequency reaches two maxima when the crustal thickness 7kmKeywords: Earthquakes; Crustal thickness; Elevation; Spatial analysis (search for similar items in EconPapers)
