Abstract:Using double difference location method to relocate 73 earthquakes, which the magnitudes are greater than M1.0 and the earthquakes were recorded by the telemetry digital seismological network near Zigui county in 2008 to 2011, and we obtained 58 location results. The results show that residual decreases, controlling epicenter distribution and focal depth are improved obviously after accurate relocation. The average error of relocation is 0.42 km in the NS direction, 0.63 km in the EW direction and 1.53 km in the vertically direction. About 74% earthquakes distributed among the depth of 7 km, the mean depth is 6.8 km. Combined with seismicity, the earthquake tendency of Zigui county is analyzed.
