Thus, we can calculate a large number of values of tectonic ambient shear stress or values of background stress in the place where the earthquake occurs. If nuclear explosions are treated as earthquakes in the calculation, we find that (0 values of nuclear explosions have about 20 MPa, which is obviously higher than average (0 values of earthquakes with the same magnitude. This result can be used to discriminate nuclear explosions from earthquakes.展开更多
