The evolution of the regional gravity field and its relationship with seismicity before and after the Yushu earthquake are studied. The observed gravity changes are closely related to the active Ganzi-Yushu Fault, and gravity measurements can be used to observe the migration of material accompanying active faults and crustal tectonics. The dynamic variation of the gravity field reflects its evolution prior to and during the Yushu earthquake. The gravity measurements near its epicen- ter are as large as 80 × 10-s m/s2.and they show wave-like increases with time prior to the Yushu earth- quake.展开更多

The results show that: 1) Ms=8.1 earthquake in Kulun mountain pass western occurred in the gravity variation high gradient near gravit/s high negative variation; 2) The main tectonic deformation and energy accumulation before Ms=8.1 earthquake are distributed at south side of the epicenter; 3) The range of gravity's high negative variation at east of the Ms=8.1 earthquake epicenter relatively coincides with that rupture region according to field geology investigation; 4) Gravity variation distribution in high negative value region is just consistent with the second shear strain's high value region of strain field obtained from GPS observation.展开更多
