Abstract: | Before a strong earthquake, there is often a process of quiescence or 2absence2 of regional seismic activity, which is a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of many scholars in China and other countries (LU, et al, 1985; Wesson, 1973). In the past ten-odd years, some Chinese seismologists made, earlier or later, special studies on the quiescence anomaly of seismicity in some specified areas from different angles. Taking the converted annual frequency of M=5.0 earthquakes in North China region as a characteristic quantity, JIANG and FENG (1989) analyzed the quiescence anomaly of seismic activity by fuzzy recognition. |
