自从 1500 广告,沿着中国的纵贯的地震的带的强烈地震(M7.0 ) 的移植显示出三个模式:从 N 的近似相等的时间和距离间隔移植到 S,到在在全部地震的带上的某个时期的 N 和组织强烈地震活动的从 S 的移植的改变的模式。在纵贯的地震的带上的 seismicity 也是的过去的百年表演的强烈地震的分析在从 Myanmar 延长到苏门答腊的南亚地震的带上与强烈地震活动联系了,印度尼西亚。以前的带上的强烈地震经常落后在发生在以后的带上的地震后面的几个月或年。因此 2004 年 12 月 26 日 M 的出现 < , s>8.7 伟人地震离开苏门答腊的西方的海岸,印度尼西亚,中国的纵贯的地震的带上的强烈地震的出现的可能性不能被忽略。上述强烈地震的迁居特征在它的东北边缘与在 Qinghai-Xizang (西藏) 高原和稳定、难的 Ordos 和 Alashan 山岳之间的印度板以及相互作用的向东北的碰撞和 subduction 有关。
Migration of strong earthquakes (M≥ 7.0) along the North-South Seismic Belt of China since 1500 AD shows three patterns: Approximately equal time and distance interval migration from N to S, varied patterns of migration from S to N and grouped strong earthquake activity in a certain period over the entire seismic belt. Analysis of strong earthquakes in the past hundred years shows that the seismicity on the North-South Seismic Belt is also associated with strong earthquake activities on the South Asia Seismic Belt which extends from Myanmar to Sumatra, Indonesia. Strong earthquakes on the former belt often lag several months or years behind the quakes occurring on the later belt. So, after the occurrence of the December 26, 2004 Ms8.7 great earthquake off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, the possibility of occurrence of strong earthquakes on the North-South Seismic Belt of China cannot be ignored. The abovementioned migration characteristics of strong earthquakes are related to the northeastward collision and subduction of the India Plate as well as the interaction between the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau and the stable and hard Ordos and Alashan Massifs at its northeastern margin.
