- Abstract:
-
In this paper we firstly spatialize the earthquake-damage data from 72 destructive events which occurred in Yunnan from 1992 to 2018.Then we select three main indicators of disaster losses-intensity area,number of casualties,and direct economic losses for feature analysis.We find that the earthquake disasters in Yunnan are marked with apparent regional characteristics:caused by the earthquakes with the same magnitude,earthquake damages in north-east Yunnan are severest; earthquake damages in west and north-west Yunnan are severe; the ones in south and south-west Yunnan are less severe.Finally,by mathematical statistics we deduce the relations between magnitude and intensity,the relations between magnitude and casualty,and the relations between magnitude and economic losses in three zones of Yunnan.
