Abstract:Based on the Aki model,adopting 82 digital wave datas of earthquake with ML≥2.0 from January,2008 to December,2009,which were recorded by Ningxia earthquake network,the average Q values of seismic coda in Ningxia and adjacent region are calculated,and the relationship between Q value and frequency is polyfited.The whole region's result is Q(f)=(212±87.62)·f0.7584±0.19.Compared with other domestic regions,the Q value of seismic coda is relatively lower,but the dependence on frequency is higher.According to the regional seismic geology,tectonic characteristics and the homochronous seismic activity,the research region is divided into four concentrated minor-earthquake areas: Ji Lantai,Yin Chuan,Wei Ningtong and Gu Hai,and the Q values of four regions are counted.Comparison shows that Q values of seismic coda reflects the characteristics of seismicity in each area.
