Abstract

In this article, the phenomenon of low-frequency abnormal signals before earthquakes, which reflects the three elements of earthquakes and the beneath structure change information, is discussed. Based on the data recorded at the Shizuishan (SZS), Wuhai (WUH) and Dongshenmiao seismic stations around the epicenter of the Ms5.8 earthquake in Azuoqi, Inner Mongolia, in 2015, the low-frequency abnormal signal from the seismic waves before this earthquake is extracted. At the same time, the autocorrelation method is used to extract the reflected waves of the main interface from teleseismic events recorded by the seismic array in the epicenter area, and then the change information from the beneath structure is obtained. It is explained in time and space that the low-frequency abnormal signal before the main earthquake, extracted from the continuous waveform, is directly related to the change in the underground structure near the epicenter, and it can be determined that the wave propagation direction f the crustal stress before the earthquake is from south to north, and it continues to accumulate near the epicenter until the main earthquake occurs.
