Abstract The aggregate of the natural seismic phenomena is considered as a point random process. The theory of point processes is set forth and the possibilities of extrapolation of the process are examined. Different types of processes which can serve as approximations to the real seismic regime, are investigated; the model of a branching process is described in a more detailed way. The possibilities of a statistical study of the different parameters of the process are discussed. (12 References). Abstract Number A74007553 Subject Headings Seismology.
