Abstract
Experiences on earthquake prediction accumulated by the Chinese scientists in the last 20 years were synthetically analyzed. A prediction program was set up to demonstrate the development of the georesistivity anomaly by using of the dynamic image, accordingly the earthquake-prone area can be recognized. By revising the DYBS- I, which was developed in 1989, and adding some latest achievements, we worked out a software on earthquake prediction by the geoelectric method—the DYBS- II. Some new feature of DYBS- II are: the anomalous area may be determined by the space distribution and its time-variation of geoelectric parameters; The dynamic process that is associated with the development of earthquake anomaly can be displayed on the computer screen; Technique for the prediction of an impending earthquake was included too. Some results of the Tangshan earthquake were presented at the end of this paper.
