水对地震的作用(例如水库地震、注水地震乃至河流泛滥、大型灌溉诱发地震等现象)已为人们所注意和研究.本文提供并讨论了许多大气降水影响地震活动性的事例.初步研究表明,大气降水对某些地区的浅源地震活动有着某种调制作用,这可能是降水变率影响不均匀地壳的应力调整所致. The effects of water on earthquakes (such as reservoir earthquakes, waterflooding earthquakes and even river flooding, large-scale irrigation-induced earthquakes, etc.) have been noticed and studied.We have provided and discussed many examples of the effects of atmospheric precipitation on the seismicity.Preliminary studies have shown that, Atmospheric precipitation has some modulation effect on shallow earthquakes in some areas, which may be caused by the stress adjustment of the uneven crust affected by precipitation rate.
