Abstract
To study the fundamental regularities of seismic process in the Baikal rift zone (BRZ) an attempt was made to investigate the spatial-temporal structure of seismicity of the region, using the method of fractal dimensions (Mandelbrot, 1982).
The analysis of selfsimilarity of the zone in the spatial distribution of earthquakes was made. “The completion of development” of earthquake epicentral fields of all parts of BRZ using the analysis of temporal variations of fractal dimensions in spatial distribution of events was investigated.
The resulting criteria for evaluation of “completion of development” of earthquake epicentral fields in BRZ may be used in estimations of average long-term parameters of seismic regime of the territory.
