地震震级的规定（General ruler for earthquake magnitude） Provisions for earthquake magnitude (GB17740 - 1999) General, ruler, for, earthquake, magnitude 1999-04-26 releases 1999-11-01 implementation Promulgated by the State Bureau of quality and technical supervision 1 range This standard is the determination method and use regulation of earthquake magnitude M. It is suitable for earthquake measurement, earthquake prediction, earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, news report and other social applications. This standard does not constrain scientific research and analyses the use of other types of magnitude. Earthquake magnitude M is the magnitude specified by this standard. Other types of earthquake magnitude must be called restrictive words and additional annotation symbols. Such as body wave magnitude, MB, near earthquake magnitude, ML, moment magnitude, MW, etc.. The earthquake magnitude M is measured by seismic surface waves. When deep earthquake (focal depth is greater than 70km) and small earthquake can not be measured by seismic surface wave, the determination of MB and ML can be made by the seismic station observation standard (1990). 2 Definitions The following definitions are used in this standard. 2.l earthquake magnitude earthquake magnitude A relative measure of the magnitude of an earthquake. 2.2 seismic surface wave seismic wave Seismic waves propagating along the earths surface. 2.3 particle motion particle motion In the earthquake pass, of any point of the earths movement. 2.4 ground displacement displacement, of, ground, motion The distance between the mass of a ground particle relative to its original resting point. 2.5 particle velocity velocity, of, particle, motion A derivative of time of displacement of a particle in motion of a particle. 2.6 epicentral distance epicentral distance Ground distance from an earthquake epicenter to a specified point. 2.6 gauge function calibration function In the different observation point of maximum amplitude wit
