Abstract
A model of block-and-fault dynamics (block model for short) of the lithosphere was developed to analyze how the basic features of seismicity depend on the lithosphere structure and dynamics and to study the specific features of this dependence. A seismic region is modeled by a system of perfectly rigid blocks divided by infinitely thin plane faults.
