简介:自从其22相对独立于另外的中等强壮的地震的1980,有女士5.0的26地震在Qinghai-Xizang(西藏)块的东北边缘被记录了。关于在22中等强壮的地震前的小地震活动的增加的研究显示了那项小地震活动在17中等强壮的地震前被提高。尽管增加的seismicity是在Qinghai-Xizang(西藏)块的东北边缘的普通现象,我们在由这现象预言中等强壮的地震有困难。以便通过小地震的增加的seismicity预言中等强壮的地震,这篇论文试图建议一个新方法,它通过小地震的分发模式的变化计算小地震频率基于在东北Qinghai-Xizang(西藏)块的小地震活动的特征,然后做主要应用。结果证明我们能通过新方法在中等强烈地震前在小地震的频率获得明显的异例,与这个小地震频率异例的振幅上的小空间范围效果。我们能获得对为在Qinghai-Xizang(西藏)块的东北边缘的中等强壮的地震的短期的异例索引中间。
