We study numerically a two-dimensional version of the Burrige-Knopoff model. We calculate spatial and temporal correlation functions and compare their behavior with the results found for the one-dimensional model. The Gutenberg-Richter law is only obtained for special choices of parameters in the relaxation function. We find that the distribution of the fractal dimension of the slip zone exhibits two well-defined peaks coeersponding to intermediate size and large events.
