宁夏南部地区地震活动特征

研究了宁夏南部地区（35°20＇～37°40＇N，104°30＇～106°30＇E）小震综合机制解的变化特征．发现在中强地震前，该地区小震综合机制解的P轴方位偏离平均值，向E或SE偏转，其仰角有增大的趋势，同时小震纵波（Pn和Pg）初动符号一致．6次中强地震的震源机制解表明，该地区P轴方位与主压应力方向基本一致，因此该地区发生破坏性地震的可能性不大．近几年来的地震活动图像显示，该地区的地震活动有向中卫、中宁和同心地区集中的迹象．     

A new model on the cause of Tangshan earthquakes in 1976

Introduction The Tangshan earthquake sequence in 1976 is one of most important events in North China. Although nearly thirty years passed and there are some researches on its cause, it is far from the end. Here we introduce two explanations for the cause of Tangshan earthquakes and point out their defects. One is that there is a diamond block in NEE direction in Tangshan region, which is shaped by cutting action of NingheChangli fault, FengtaiYejituo fault, Luanxian fault and Jiyunhe fau…     

武定6.5级地震孕震过程测震学特征

研究了1995年10月24日云南省武定6．5级强震前的地震活动性参数、空间分布图象、距震中135km的巧家台振幅比、波速比演化特征，结果表明武定6．5级地震孕育发生有明显的阶段性变化，经历了早期（1988年4月－1992年7月），中期（1992年8月－1995年3月），晚期（1995年4月－1995年10月）阶段的发展，最终发生了强震。最后应用岩石破裂实验结果，分析了武定6．5级地震孕震过程。     

河南内乡-镇平ML4.7级地震及其震前 地震活动特征

2000年4月29日河南内乡－镇平ML4．7级地震是一次显著地震事件，地震序列属孤立型，根据震区地震地质背景，等震线分布以及震源机制解的综合分析表明，发震断层为北西向的朱阳关－桐柏断裂，对1992年至今该区2．0级以上地震空间分布的研究认为，震前的地震空间分在由无序到有序的演化过程，即存在一个地震正常活动，地震空间，地震条带，震前震中区平静至发震的发展过程。     

古吉黑造山带拼接带地球物理特征线

吉黑造山带拼接带的地球物理特征线，在重磁图上为伊通-吉昌-桦甸、贤儒-安图-开山屯一线。它分割了两种截然不同的地球物理场区，与两侧中元古宙-早三叠世不同的地质发育历史相呼应；和石炭-二叠系安哥拉与华夏植物地球区系的界线相一致。这是有别于前人而为更多新的地质资料所支持的新认识。     

导致古森林沉没于海的福建深沪湾古地震研究

福建深沪湾海底古森林是强古地震遗迹。研究结果表明 ,全新世早期该处海底古森林生长在由松散的晚更新世含砾砂粘土构成的低凹洼地内。距今 70 0 0a左右的强古地震导致古森林沉没于海并形成泻湖环境 ,约距今 2 0 0 0a的又一次强古地震使海底古森林沉没到更深的海底 ,推测这两次古地震的震级都超过 7级     

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment Along the Southeastern Coast of Vietnam

On the basis of the analysis of geological, tectonic characteristics and earthquake manifestation features, a causative relation between geodynamic regime and seismicity has been established for the southeastern coastal zone and continental shelf of Vietnam. The probabilistic methods have been used to evaluate ground shaking effects at Nha Trang city aswell as for the entire study area. Short, intermediate and long term predictions of ground shaking (in the form of peak ground accelerationmaps) show high risks in the coastal zone of central Vietnam and in the southeastern continental shelf of the country.     

Induced seismicity at wujiangdu reservoir,China: a case induced in the karst area

To date 19 cases of reservoir-induced seismicity have been acknowledged in China and 15 of them are associated with karst. The Wujiangdu case is a typical one induced in the karst area. The dam with a height of 165 m is the highest built in a karst area in China. Seismic activity has been successively induced in five reservoir segments seven months after the impoundment in 1979. A temporary seismic network consisting of 8 stations was set up in one of the segments some 40 km upstream from the dam. The results indicate that epicenters were distributed along the immediate banks, composed of karstified carbonate, and focal depths were only several hundred meters. Most of the focal mechanisms were of thrust and normal faulting. It is suggested that karst may be an important factor in inducing seismicity. It can provide an hydraulic connection to change the saturation and pressure and also weak planes for dislocation to induce seismicity.     

Space-time interaction amongst clusters of mining induced seismicity

Elementary cluster analysis of induced seismicity in a South African gold mine has shown that there is a clear interaction amongst the clusters; and that the level of the interaction is a function of the distance. The clusering algorithm used is an adaptation of the single-link cluster analysis which considers both three-dimensional space and time. A high level of interaction between the clusters is demonstrated from the cross-correlation analysis of seismic activity rates and radiated energy. A distinct decrease in the value of correlation coefficients was detectable as distance increased. This was somewhat surprising, considering the simplicity of the technique used. Since no attempt is made to study the physical mechanisms of interaction, these results are very preliminary, but interesting from an observational point of view.
