Abstract
A large 3-dimension cellular automation model with 200 × 200 × 10 meshes has been designed. By using it 94304 "earthquakes" have occurred. The result shows that the range of scale invariance for small and large "earthquakes" are different; in the near time and in a closing space, large "earthquakes" often respond to each other.
