Resumobave proposed discrete renormalization group models of earthquakes, viewing them as a kind of dynamical critical phenomena.Here, we propose that the assumed discrete scale invariance 1989 Lama Prieta earthquake m northem Califomia and on a recent build-up of seismic activity on a segment of the Aleutian-Island seismic 20ne.The earthquake phenomenology of precursory phenomena such as the causal sequence of quiescence and foreshocks is captured by the general structure of the mathematical solution of the renormalization group.l.
