Abstract
This paper shows that the number of aftershocks with a relative magnitude does not depend on the magnitude of the main shock, and, in global and regional consideration, it is characterized by an exponential distribution that is similar to the Gutenberg–Richter repeatability law. This type of distribution makes it possible to give a simple and adequate interpretation of Bath’s law.
