- Abstract:

Based on the GRACE monthly gravity models from 2003 to 2013,we first indicated the long-term gravity change pattern of Tibet plateau and its adjacent areas.Then we studied the monthly gravity variation data of eight feature points in gravity variation tendency graphy and fitted its long period gravity variation by the least squares method,which validated the reliability of the gravity change pattern.Finally the possible reasons for the gravity change were discussed in Tibet plateau and its adjacent areas.The result shows as follows:The nowadays gravity change does not show a whole-level pattern in Tibet plateau and its adjacent areas.The strong earthquakes for these years broke out on the big faults where the gravity change presented four-quadrant distribution pattern.The crustal isostatic effect in central Tibet plateau is more significant comparing to that of eastern Tibet plateau.
