Abstrakt: Relationships between the average seismic energy of strong and weak earthquakes in confined ranges are considered. These relationships are related to the earthquake recurrence (Gutenberg-Richter) law parameters. The theoretical foundation of the study is based on the results obtained by M.A. Sadovsky and V.F. Pisarenko in 1999, who described the indicated law as a ratio of the total seismic energy and maximum expected earthquake. Some empirical relationships obtained by the author on the basis of the Kamchatka and Sakhalin regional earthquake catalogs are reported. The determination of the recurrence law parameters on the basis of these relationships is shown to be efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
