Abstract:The earthquake location and focal mechanism in the Three Gorges area show that the seismogenic stress of earthquakes occurred in the Badong alongshore, the Three Gorges area is caused by the impoundment of the Three Gorges reservoir. This result also agrees with previous numerical simulation. The gliding of shallow terrane triggered by water loading of the Three Gorges reservoir may be the main mechanism of this earthquakes.
