DISTRIBUTION OF STRAIN RATES IN TAIWAN BEFORE AND AFTER 1999 CHI-CHI EARTHQUAKE AND THEIR GEODYNAMIC MECHANISMS
1999年集集地震前后台湾地区地应变率场的分布及其动力学成因

The destructive Chi-Chi earthquake occurred in 1999,which had a full impact on the stress state in Taiwan.The strain rates based on the GPS data before and after the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in the period of 1990-1995 and of 2003-2005 were estimated respectively.The computed results show that the pattern of strain rate distribution in Taiwan is not changed much before and after the Chi-Chi earthquake.The highest value of the maximum principle strain rates is located on the Coastal Range,which orientated obli...
