Abstract
We in this study have calculated the standard normal deviate Z-value to investigate the variations in seismicity patterns in the Taiwan region before and after the Chi-Chi earthquake. We have found that the areas with relatively high seismicity in the eastern Taiwan became abnormally quiet before the Chi-Chi earthquake while the area in the central Taiwan with relatively low seismicity showed unusually active. Such a spatially changing pattern in seismicity strikingly demonstrates the phenomenon of "seismic reversal," and we here thus present a complete, representative cycle of "seismic reversal" embedding in the changes of seismicity patterns before and after the Chi-Chi earthquake. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
