Analysis for the curve chart of distribution of epicenter (Magnitude)

The curve chart of the ,magnitude distribution in Iwate-oki Area including of Great East Japan Earthquake as below,

Just before Great East Japan Earthquake (M9.0), the frequency distribution curve of magnitude became almost negative quadratic function curve. The correlation coefficient (R^2) was 0.9281. It becomes 0.7697 now. M9.0 was irregular dot for these quadratic function curves. It seems to be similar with the exception of Gutenberg-Richter law in larger Magnitude zone.

The frequency distribution curves of magnitude has many patterns.

The curve chart of the ,magnitude distribution in Kumamoto region Area including of Great East Japan Earthquake as below, 

The top shape of the curve is sharper than one of quadratic function curve. The irregular plots are spread to the negative area of horizontal axis. Most of these epicenters were occurred in Aso region. So, these plots may be caused by volcanic activity of M't Aso(volcano). The irregular plots may be occurred by the difference of the earthquake mechanism.

There are other patterns like as multi peak curves, amorphous, etc. These difference should have the reasonable cause. It must be useful to solve the reasons.

#SP-9 熊本県熊本地方周辺の特異震源の解析(ミクロ的解析)

 [背景] 気象庁の有感地震全データを東経北緯を0.1度単位深さを1km単位のグリッドに分けた場合、M7以上の震源、かつ段数2段目あるいは3段目以上のグリッド震源はこれまで13震源しか存在しない。これら13震源を段数の特異震源と呼ぶ。2016年4月の熊本地震M7.3は2段目であり...
