We study statistical properties of spatial distances between successive earthquakes, the so-called hypocenter intervals, produced by a two-dimensional (2D) Burridge–Knopoff model involving stick-slip behavior. It is found that cumulative distributions of hypocenter intervals can be described by the qq-exponential distributions with q<1q<1, which is also observed in nature. The statistics depend on a friction and stiffness parameters characterizing the model and a threshold of magnitude. The conjecture which states that qt+qr∼2qt+qr∼2, where qtqt and qrqr are an entropy index of time intervals and spatial intervals, respectively, can be reproduced semi-quantitatively. It is concluded that we provide a new perspective on the Burridge–Knopoff model which addresses that the model can be recognized as a realistic one in view of the reproduction of the spatio-temporal interval statistics of earthquakes on the basis of nonextensive statistical mechanics.
