Whether Should the Term Seismites Be Abandoned: Discussions Based on the Recent Advance of Limnic Seismology in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper attempts to provide seismites’s own meaning, which is also the meaning accepted by many researchers. According to the recent advance of limnic seismology in the eastern Tibetan Plateau, the author gives a new explanation on the question of the term seismites. Seismites and the earthquake rocks have different meaning. The term seismites has a clear meaning and has been accepted widely by researchers.

Key words: seismites, the earthquake rocks, limnic seismology, soft sediment deformation
