N2  - The Gutenberg–Richter relation and the Omori–Utsu law, both power laws, are two of the long-standing relationships of statistical seismology. Here, aftershock sequences are described according to the faulting style of their main shocks, showing that the time delay before the onset of the power-law aftershock decay rate is on average shorter for thrust main shocks than for normal fault earthquakes. These similar dependences on the faulting style indicate that both the fundamental power laws are governed by the state of stress.<p />
