Geometría fractal, sismos, Guerrero, MéxicoResumen
Mediante el método de conteo por cajas se calcula la dimensión fractal D de una distribución de fallas, fracturas y lineamientos en una región de la costa del sur del Pacífico mexicano. Los resultados sugieren que el valor b de la ley de Gutenberg-Richter y la dimensión fractal están positivamente correlacionadas. Proponemos también que D depende de la profundidad de la zona sismogénica.
