ON DISTRIBUTION OF APPARENT SEISMIC STRESS IN CHINESE MAINLAND
中国大陆地震视应力空间分布研究

The average seismic apparent stress and its distribution in Chinese mainland are presented by use of data of medium-strong earthquake from 1900 to 2005.The stress is 0.67 MPa, more than the global level a little and 0.32 MPa in eastern China,0.97 MPa in western China. It is turns out that the average seismic apparent stress calculated with seismic magnitude in Chinese mainland is similar to that calculated with digital seismic wave data and the distribution is coincident with each other.
