热带震害是指在华南的构造和气候条件下形成的第四系在大地震发生时所产生的特殊震害类型。其表现形势为崩塌、滑坡、滚石以及局部陷落等地震—重力破坏类型,以滑塌为主。其地质基础为以花岗岩风化壳为主的各类红壤型风化壳。热带震害的研究既可服务于震害预测,也可确立华南古地震的标志,进而在年代学研究的基础上,求得强震的重复率,其意义不仅具有经济效益,也有助于地震科学的充实。 Tropical earthquake damage refers to the formation of Quaternary in South China under the tectonic and climatic conditions in the earthquake occurred when the special type of earthquake damage. Its performance is the type of earthquake-gravity failure such as collapse, landslide, rolling stone and local collapse, with the main slump. The geological basis for the granite weathered crust-based red soil weathering crust. The study of tropical earthquake damage not only can serve for earthquake damage prediction, but also can establish the sign of the ancient South China earthquake. Based on the chronological study, the repetition rate of strong earthquakes can be obtained. Its significance is not only economic but also helpful to earthquake Scientific enrichment.
