本刊自今年起开设读者·编者·作者专栏,本栏解答有关地震专业的术语问题和对有关问题的探讨,望广大读者给予支持,并协助我们将此专栏办好。我们请国家地震局地球物理研究所付研究员张少泉同志为本专栏特约作者。 Since the beginning of this year, this magazine has opened a column of readers, editors and authors. This column provides answers to the terminology and questions on earthquakes. We hope that readers can support this column and assist us to run this column well. We asked Comrade Zhang Shaoquan, a researcher paid by the Institute of Geophysics of the State Seismological Bureau, to be an authoritative contributor to this column.
