The spherical block model is used to study dynamics of the global system of tectonic plates and seismicity by means of numerical simulation. A brief description of the model is presented. Two block structures are considered: The first is characterized by specifying the largest plates as boundary blocks, whereas the second is the closed spherical structure without boundary blocks. Results of numerical...
