Aftershocks Preferentially Occur in Previously Active Areas
The clearest statistical signal in aftershock locations is that most aftershocks occur close to their mainshocks. More precisely, aftershocks are triggered at distances following a power-law decay in distance (Felzer and Brodsky, 2006). This distance decay kernel is used in epidemic-type aftershock...
