Abstract
Based on analyses of the spatio-temporal evolutionary characteristics of teleseismic response recorded by Fujian subsurface fluid network and in combination with earthquakes happened in Fujian province during the same period, this paper points out that the step-like rising of water level after distant earthquakes may include some regional stress field information, and the area where water level step-like rises could be the position that the stress concentrated on and where the future earthquakes would occur. If combined with other impending precursors, the location of the events may be predicted to a certain degree.
