Discussion on the Seismicity Trend of Zone in Fujian Province and Adjacent Area

Fujian province and its adjacent area have ever happened in the history of the land in the strong earthquake, for the local people's lives and property caused a certain degree of loss. Now in Fujian coastal area is densely populated and the economy is very developed area, if more than moderate earthquake, will cause serious influence to the local people's social life. Short-term and impending earthquake predictions at present all over the world to also do not pass, but the medium and long term earthquake prediction has certain reliability. In Fujian province and its adjacent area for more than twenty-five years there was no greater than 5 magnitude. Continue to keep this quiet period? If you can to make a more accurate prediction of medium-strong earthquakes, will have a good on the local economic value and social value. If you can to make a more accurate prediction of medium-strong earthquakes, will have a good on the local economic value and social value. To earthquake trend for the future of Fujian province and its adjacent area has a more reliable prediction. This article through to the historical earthquakes in Fujian, seismic tectonic background and have a seismoscope since records began in 1971 the region seismic activity characteristics were analyzed, and at the same time using the software was used to ride the area is greater than the 1.5 -magnitude quake data through ride temporal curves is analyzed, Think: Fujian region - Lord - before an earthquake has the characteristics of the aftershock and swarm, in recent years the strain energy accumulation for effective release and then in a low, and there is in a state of stress accumulation, in Fujian province and adjacent areas should be paid attention to land the next 1-3 years have greater than 5 magnitude earthquake in May.
