A new hypothesis of seismogenic pattern has been proposed based on the data obtained from gravity surveys, cross-fault mobile measurements, large-area levelling, GPS measurements, field investigations of great earthquakes and characteristics of seismic phenomena in the continent of China. It is considered that this is one of the main patterns that plays a vital role in earthquake generation.
