Abstract:In this paper,we have calculated the accuracy of the determination of earthquake epicenter and origin time in the network of Shanxi and its adjacent provinces by Monte Carlo method.In order to study effects on the accuracy of determination of earthquake epicenter and origin time caused by random errors of arrival time of each station and sta-tion number,respectively,the calculations under the condition of diffe-rent errors and station numbers have been completed.Besides,when a certain station has made an extremely large error,the change of ac-curacy of the network can be calculated.And the isorithm of errors of the determination of location and origin time under each condition can be drawn.
