Summary A physical interpretation of empirical formulas for earthquake magnitude (M) and spatial extents of land deformation and aftershock area is attempted on the basis of a dilatancy model. It is demonstrated that the precursor time interval (τ) vs.M relation approximately fits in that for the τ vs. typical length of earthquake zone provided the above formulas hold good. A diffusion process in a dilatant region seems also to account for these approximate formulas.
