Abstract

1. SURVEY OF GLOBE SEISMICITY IN 2004 A total of 19 strong earthquakes with Ms≥7.0 occurred in the world according to the Chinese Seismic Station Network in 2004 (Table 1 ). The strongest earthquake was the Sumatra earthquake with Ms 8.7 near the northwest coast of Sumatra on December 26 ( Fig. 1 ). Global seismicity maintains the same patterns from recent years, being distributed mainly on the western part of the circum-Pacific seismic zone. Remarkable macroseismic activities were seen in the India-Australian plate and in the Japan region. The macroseismic activities of Ms≥7.0 in 2004 were as follows:
