Abstract

By studying the M\-S≥5.0 earthquake activities in a wide range before the M\-S=8.1 earthquake in the west of Kunlun mountain pass, it is found that there existed M\-S≥5.0 earthquake gap and straps, the rising of M\-S≥5.0 earthquake activities and the high value variation of value GL. Combined with the analysis on the characteristics of the strong earthquake activity in the West China after several M\-S≥5.0 earthquakes which occurred in China mainland, it is thought that M\-S≥6.0 earthquakes may be relatively active in next several years in Xinjiang.
