The linear magnitude-frequency correlation advanced first by Gutenberg and Richter has played a great part in the study of earthquake and its prediction. The correlation itself has been improved and replenished constantly. In this paper it is pointed out that the important cause of generating the nonlinear behavior of earthquake is its fractal structure and its chaos principle. A new magnitude frequency correlation involving nonlinear terms is gained. It is proved that the correlation can be developed to the linear Gutenberg Richter relation through linear approximation. A further explanation in physics principle is also given.
