研究结果表明，运用该模型方法可利用大地测量数据确定沿板块边界断层带的相对闭锁区，从而进行中长期地震预报。
The research result shows that this physical model is useful to determine the locked area along plate boundary faults and further to make the long term and middle term earthquake prediction.
2004年水平运动没有形成断层错动、应变相对集中或断层闭锁的有序结果。
Horizontal movement in 2004 have not formed orderly result of fault dislocation, relative concentration of strain or locking of fault.
两条交叉的断层在活动中既相互促进，又相互制约，即一条断层既可能使另一条断层发生闭锁而积累应变，又可能触发其错动。
Two intersecting faults promote and restrain each other during deformation. One fault may make the other be locked for strain accumulation and may trigger slip along it.
