Abstract: according to the principle of Corioli force, the probable influence of Corioli force caused by a great earthquake of essential strike-slip fault to earthquake activity in near area on tow sides of the fault is analyzed. The results show that the greater earthquakes on the two sides of eastern Kunlun fault belt after MS 8.1 earthquake generally take place in the area of increased Coulomb failure stress caused by the Corioli force of 8.1 Kunlun mountain earthquake.

Key words: Corioli force, Eastern Kunlun earthquake seismic belt, Seismicity, Kunlun Pass MS8.1 earthquake
