RESEARCH OF PREDICTION CRITERION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS OF DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKES IN XINJIANG

In this paper, we studied the relationship between environmental factors and disastrousearthquakes of Xinjiang based on the characteristics of time--space distribution of disastrousearthquakes. Through a great deal of data handling and several statistic correlation analyses,the method has passed the correlation test on the confidence level of α= 0.01 or 0. 05, whichshows a certain relation between environmental factors and disastrous earthquakes, thus theprediction criterion for disastrous earthquakes with different scales in different time inter-vals is put forward.
