Relationship between Earth’s Rotation and Several Strong Earthquakes and Moderate-small Earthquakes Occurring around the Epicenter Regions Prior to Strong Earthquakes

摘要

The relationships between Earth's rotation and the 1975 Haicheng, Liaoning MS7.3 earthquake, 2008 Wenchuan, Sichuan MS8.0 earthquake and the 2004 Sumatra MS9.0 earthquake, as well as moderate-small earthquakes occurring around the epicenter regions prior to them are investigated in this study. The obtained results could benefit the further understanding of the relationship between the Earth's rotation and earthquakes.
