Title: Precursor earthquake swarms in Southwest China,Space-temporal characteristics of prominence earthquakes and regional strong earthquakes
Abstract: We divide Southwest China area into 5 research sub-areas and then analyze the space-temporal characteristics on the precursory earthquake swarms and the prominence earthquakes before a strong earthquake.In 5 areas in Southwest China the characteristics of precursory earthquake swarms and prominence earthquakes in every are alike but at the same times are different according to every areas.From the common characters,5 predicting areas in Southwest China after a precursory earthquake swarm and a prominence earthqauake occureed for 1 to 2 years,a strong earthquake may occur and the epicenter may be located at the location of the precursory earthquakes or the relative falut belts.Sichuan and Yunnan fault block tectonics are complex.Before a strong earthquake there is a precusory earthquake swarm or a prominence earthquake.In another words,in 5 predictive areas the precursory earthquake swarm and the prominence earthquake are relative to a strong earthquake and are relative to the seismological geological structures of Southwest China.
