1 SURVEY OF GLOBE SEISMICITY IN 2008
A total of 19 strong earthquakes with Ms ≥ 7.0 occurred in the world in 2008 according to the Chinese Seismic Station Network （Table 1 ）. The strongest earthquake was the Wenchuan earthquake with Ms8.0 on May 12,2008 （Fig. 1）. Earthquake frequency was apparently lower and the energ2,＇ release remarkably attenuated in 2008, compared to seismicity in 2007. The characteristics of seismicity are as follows：
