This study is based on the concept of "the strongest intersection of circular arcs of earthquakes" proposed by Professor Hin-Chi Lei in the paper [3]. We apply this concept in the United States to test whether the method is applicable to the United States and try to improve the method.
Using the data of the US Geological Survey (USGS) as the catalog of earthquakes, the magnitudes of events are filtered from large to small. When the first appeared arc intersection is obtained, we call it the strongest intersection of circular arcs of earthquakes, and the intersection is used to predict strong earthquakes. We perform the statistics and comparisons to find the correlation between the two as a reference for future strong earthquake prediction.
This research selects Alaska and California as the research areas. The time is from the first half of 1995 to the second half of 2004. The time interval is half a year to find the strongest intersection. There are 15 effective intersections in Alaska and 9 in California. Then, with the scale of 5.7, 6.0 and the predicted region with radius of 70 km, Lmin/4, Lmin/3, we make statistical charts to compare the follow-up trend of the large earthquake, and further explore the impact of the double intersection, and finally compare the result with the thesis of Jhih-Wun Lin [10].
Although the Alaska region and the California region belong to the Pacific Rim seismic zone, the Aleutian Islands under Alaska belongs to the same squeezing volcanic zone and the cryptic zone, while the California area is the staggered plate across the north and south of the San Andreas fault. This study will explore the application of the strongest intersections of circular arcs of earthquakes in these two regions, and try to find out what are the same and different between them.
