Abstract
Plumb line variations (PLV) of points at Tangshan and Midu during 1985-1998 are determined by using the 46 batch repeated gravity observations of the Beijing-Tangshan network and 32 batch repeated gravity observations of the West-Yunan network. As for Tangshan region, relation between underground matter change (UMC) and the PLV on ground are discussed and approach of determining the UMC by a derived regional PLV is found. The UMC before and after earthquake（1995.10.05, Mb 5.0）in Tangshan region, as an example, is studied, giving the location and depth of the mass center of underground disturbing body as well as its mass quantity.
Highlights
We know that the “variations in the deflection of the vertical” (or plumb line variations, Plumb line variations (PLV), as follows) is a local phenomenon, they are different in different locations [1]
We know that the “variations in the deflection of the vertical” is a local phenomenon, they are different in different locations [1]
It is clear that the Plumb line variations (PLV) at Tangshan is detectable and is related to the earthquakes event around
