山西地震带属华北地震区范畴。也称华北地震区山西地震亚区。 山西地震带,北部宏大的盆地出省到河北的怀来地区,南部由运城盆地出省到陕西的渭河谷地,中间包含着一系列的地堑或断陷盆地及谷地。整个地震带南北两段为北东东向,中间为北北东向,所以形状呈一个“S”形。在这个带的两侧还有一些次一级的地震活动区,也划入山西地震带的范畴。 Shanxi earthquake belongs to the North China earthquake area. Also known as the North China earthquake area Shanxi earthquake subregion. Shanxi earthquake belt, the northern great basins to the province to Hebei Huailai area, the southern Yuncheng basin to the province of Shaanxi Weihe valley, the middle contains a series of graben or fault basin and valley. The whole seismic zone is north-east-east and north-north east, so the shape is an “S” shape. There are some sub-level seismic activity areas on both sides of this belt, which are also included in the scope of Shanxi seismic belt.
