Abstract

A statistical study of the aftershocks originating from Koyna region recorded at Gauribidanur seismic array t. made to find the time dependence of energy release. A total number of 210 aftershocks, most of whose magnitudes on Richter scale vary from 808 to 6.8, which occurred during the period January 1968 to October 1973 were analysed. It is found that the cumulative energy release in this period shows, in general, a tendency to vary as the square root of time that elapsed after January 1968 apart from some fluctuations.
