Abstract: Based on a brief summary on the practice of crustal deformation monitoring and earthquake prediction, and combined with the existing research results of regional crustal deformation before the 2001 MS8.1 Kunlun and the 2008 MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, this paper elaborates that it is necessary and important to focus on the geological background and tectonic deformation in different layout modes to enhance the ability of seismic deformation monitoring in considering that today the crustal deformation observation technologies continuously advance to high precision, high resolution and efficiency and convenience. Then according to the regional tectonic dynamic background and deformation mode of the southwest margin of the Ordos block, we present and discuss some ideas and methods which can optimize the layout of monitoring and capture the dynamic information of the abnormal surface changes effectively in this key monitoring area.
