Abstract: Acceleration pattern of strain release curves is a sign of the enhancement of seismicity and mid-term earthquake prediction.In order to examine the efficiency of earthquake prediction based on this method,we conduct the space scanning of strain release curves by using the data of small earthquakes during 1970~1996in North China. The result shows the method has better efficiency of prediction.Some problems regarding the mid-term prediction are also discussed.

Key words: Enhancement of seismicity, Strain release, Earthquake prediction, Efficiency of prediction
