Abstract: A M 5.9 earthquake occurred in the Heze area of Shandong in November 1983 as well as a M 7 earthquake of 1937 on the same seismic 20ne.Following interpretations of Landsat images,an arcuate distribution of the drainages can be found.A comprehensive analysis of deep-shallow structures,ground hot flow,observations of geodetic deformation,seismicities and elavated groundwater table preceding the earthquake indicates that the earthquake in point may have,appeared at uprising-doming structure central,responding to the failute of these structures.Seismic hazard may depend on shallow structures and the depth to the water table,as well as the behasiour of structures of this kind.Associated with the earthquake,sand liquation can be distinquished from that resulting from the other shocks.
