Title: The fault activity in recent time along northern section of North-South Seismic Belt and its both sides
Abstract: In this paper we have analyzed the data of mobile geodetic deformation across faults along northern section of North South seismic belt and its both sides, and studied the activity level, dynamic evolution and relation to strong earthquakes of every fault zone. The results show that the average of fault movement rate is 0.19 mm/a along northern section of North South seismic belt and its both sides. The fault activity has been in the lower level since Quaternary period. Regional fault activity strengthening is an important symbol for occurrence of strong earthquakes. There is a feature that fault anomalous activity migrates from the outlying zone to the epicenters before strong earthquakes. Southwest Huashan Liupanshan fault zone is the potential region of strong earthquake occurrence in the near future.
