摘要
///This paper compares the seismicity between eastern Asia, western Asia and eastern Mediterranean regions. The results show that seismicity and deformation of eastern Asia, western Asia and eastern Mediterranean region are closely related to the interaction (convergence collision, subduction and velocity) between Eurasia plate and surrounding plate (North America, Pacific, Philippine sea, India, Arab and Africa Plate). There are macroscopic earthquake epicenter distributions with a pattern of alternate contraction and dissipation, and symmetrical fault trends in the eastern Asia, western Asia and eastern Mediterranean region.
