Abstract

The multifractality of the earthquake magnitude series of seismicity occurred on the Mexican South Pacific Coast was investigated. The area is composed by five seismic regions that are characterized by different tectonic subduction features, due to the interactions between the La Rivera and Cocos plates with the North America plate. Among the five seismic regions, Jalisco is tectonically characterized by the existence of active spreading center (the East Pacific Rise). The multifractal analysis shows that all the five seismic regions are characterized by very close multifractal properties; however, Jalisco is featured by a higher persistence of the magnitude series.
