A comparative analysis of the 231 earthquakes(MSL≥2.0)in the Three Gorges area recorded by both the telemetry seismic network in Three Gorges and the digital seismological network of Hubei province from June 2007 to December 2009 was carried out. The results show that the average magnitude from the telemetry seismic network in the Three Gorges is larger than that from the digital seismological network of Hubei province, as 2.0≤MSL<2.5, MSL is larger than MHL by 0.16 magnitude; as 2.5≤MSL<3.2,
MSL is larger than MHL by 0.11 magnitude; as MSL≥3.2,
MSL almost equals to MHL.
According to Aki’s singlescattering theory of coda, the coda Qc value,which is (89.2 ± 28.78) f 0.913 1 ± 0.154 3 in the Xiaolangdi reservoir area is estimated by use of the seismic waveform data recorded by short-period instruments from Xiaolangdi Reservoir Seismic Network. The results show that threre is a strong dependence between Qc value and frequency in the Xiaolangdi reservoir area and coda Qc value is small. Refering the domestic research results, combined with the numerical characteristics of coda Qc in this area, it is found that the tectonic activity is complex and the seismic activity level is high in the studied area,so the earthquake monitoring should be strengthened.
The strain energy release rates of earthquake area in Taiwan were analyzed from M5.0 earthquake data from 1900 to 2009. The results show that there is peroidical change of strain energy release rate by three years,or may be about 24 years. The strain energy cumulation and release of the earthquake area in Taiwan show the function relation:
ΣE 1/2=A+Bt.
