The Statistical Analysis of Migration of Strong Earthquakes-Taking the North China Region asan Example

The migration of strong earthquakes is an important research topic because the migration phenomena reflect partly the seismic mechanism and involve the prediction of tendency of seismic activity. Research on migration of strong earthquakes has mostly focused on finding the phenomena. Some attempts on getting regularity were comparatively subjective. This paper suggests that there should be indices of migration in earthquake dataset and the indexes should have statistical meaning if there is regularity in the migration of strong earthquakes. In this study, three derivative attributes of migration, i.e., migration orientation, migration distance and migration time interval, were statistically analyzed. Results in the North China region show that the migration of strong earthquakes has statistical meaning. There is a dominant migration orientation (W by S to E by N), a dominant distance ( ≤ 100kin and on the confines of 300 ～ 700km), and a dominant time interval ( ≤ la and on the confines of 3 - 4a). The results also show that the migration will differ slightly with different magnitude range or earthquake activity phase.     

赤潮

严格来讲,赤潮是一种自然现象。《圣经》中记载的河水变红、《聊斋志异》里提到的河水发光,或许是民间对赤潮类事件最古朴也最形象的记录。1831～1836年达尔文乘“Beagle”号环球航行时也对赤潮做过相关记录,虽然那时尚无人提出明确的“赤潮”概念。近几十年来由于对人类的娱乐及生产活动影响越来越严重,频繁发生的赤潮逐渐被界定为环境污染及海洋灾害的一种。河里的水都变作血了。河里的鱼死了,河也腥臭了,埃及人就不能吃这河里的水,埃及遍地都有了血。——《旧约·出埃及记》众坐舟中,旋见青火如灯状,突出水面,随水浮游;渐近舡,则火顿灭…     

浅谈火山作用

地壳深处的岩浆喷出地壳便产生了火山现象，所引起的全部地质过程称为火山作用。火山喷发是一种极为壮观而令人生畏的自然现象，介绍了火山喷发主要的3种形式、火山作用造成的灾害类型和中国的火山特点，以及自全新世以来我国有过喷发活动的8个主要活火山。提出了要加强认识火山的活动规律、形成过程、喷发机理，开展监测，采取对策，防灾减灾。
