Abstract: Using high precision data processing software GAMIT/GLOBK, we obtain co-seismic displacement of the 14 earthquakes above MW6.0 from 2011 to 2015, based on the CMONOC GPS continuous stations. Combining the tectonic background and the focal mechanism, we research the spatial distribution characteristic of co-seismic displacement field. The results show that the larger magnitude, the shallower source, the closer epicentral distance, the more obvious the co-seismic displacement can be observed by GPS stations. For the shallow source earthquakes, the observable range of co-seismic deformation effects is within 50 km for the MW6.0~6.5 earthquakes, within 100 km for the MW6.5~7.0 earthquakes, and exceeds 200 km for the earthquakes with magnitudes above MW7.0.
