Large Scale Tectonics Related with Earthquake |
|
|
Abstract: Before a large earthquake, its central region usually shows some quiescence. However, as viewed from a global large scale, the seismic activity pattern does show quite distinct characteristics. Linear pattern and circular arc pattern appear more common; the events constructed from above patterns are distributed on an equal span of distance as well. It has been recognized that the tectonics associated with the earthquake generation present a large scale nature globally. These large scale tectonics related with the earthquake generation control the progress of the earthquake preparation in a short term, and are very important in understanding the mechanism of earthquakes. This paper reviews the cases that large scale tectonics related with earthquake generation show before several large earthquakes (Tongshan earthquake of M7.8, 1976; Kunlun Mountain earthquake of M8.1, 2001; Wenchuan earthquake of M8.0, 2008) occurred in recent years in China. That gives some food for thought on earthquake predictions.
