Abstract:The quick-change in observing values of radon is a main base for short-impending earthquake prediction. Through analysis on the quick-changes of radon from 17 stations in Gansu province, it is found that the genesises of quick-change of radon are mainly disturb factors such as temperature, rainfall, water flow, apparatus et al. and earthquake. At 5 stations, most of radon quick-changes ( ≥ 50%) caused by disturb factors, and at other 12 stations most genesises are unacquainted. Except the Li- ancheng station, the quick-changes of radon have not obvious relationship with earthquake events at sin- gle station. But analysis on the group chick-changes in divided two regions shows that earthquake will maybe occur after the number of quick-change points being 5 in a month and increasing gradually in southeastern Gansu l~rovince. For Qilian mountain region, there was not this character.
