    "abstract": "Using a catalog of seismicity for Southern California, we measure how the\nnumber of triggered earthquakes increases with the earthquake magnitude. The\ntrade-off between this relation and the distribution of earthquake magnitudes\ncontrols the relative role of small compared to large earthquakes. We show that\nseismicity triggering is driven by the smallest earthquakes, which trigger\nfewer events than larger earthquakes, but which are much more numerous. We\npropose that the non-trivial scaling of the number of triggered earthquakes\nemerges from the fractal spatial distribution of seismicity.",
