Abstract

The seismicity character in northern Qinghai-Xizang plateau after west to Kunlun Mountain Pass MS8.1 earthquake in future 1～3 years is analysed by using date of some previous events. The result shows that the seismicity of moderate strong earthquake in the area is strengthened after M≥7.0 earthquakes along Eastern Kunlun Fault and adjacent areas,The strong shocks in Qilian Mountain and Eastern Kunlun Seismic Belts are occurred alternately.The main active regions of moderate strong earthquake are some stress transition sites and extrudingtectonic areas on great strikeslip active faults,such as mideastern segment of Eastern Kunlun Seismic Belt,western end and mideastern segment of Qilian Mountain Seismic Belt.
