Abstract:
Some remarkable anormalies of precursory observation appeared in Yunnan area before Wenchuan earthquake. According to the seismogenic scale, we think these anormalies may have a close relationship with Wenchuan
MS8.0 and realized that remarkable extremum anormalies maybe the precursor of big earthquakes with
MS≥7.0. Some researcher think it is a common character that no or few precursory anormalies appeared in epicentral area, so did the Wenchuan
MS8.0 earthquake. The beginning and ending time of anormalies were various, and the distribution of anormalies was complex. So it was difficult to predict the Wenchuan
MS8.0 earthquake using the common characters summarized after the earthquake.
