Fig. 5

a Distribution of inter-occurrence deformation between successive events, for different magnitudes. b Distribution of re-scaled inter-occurrence deformation \(\delta {\varepsilon }_{M}/\overline{\delta {\varepsilon }_{M}}\). The plain line is the gamma distribution \(P(x)\propto {x}^{q-1}\exp (-x/B)\) with q = 0.6 and B = 1.9.
