A hierarchy model simulating seismicity has been proposed, which can produce fractal characteristics of seismicity, such as Gutenberg-Richter relationship. Quantitative relation between fractal dimension D and b-value is obtained. The average epicenter distance between the earthquakes with magnitude m is derived by using the hierarchy model, which can be used to seek the potential earthquake regions.
