Figure 5. (a) Distribution of the Z-values from 1 January 1999 to 19 September
1999. Most of the Taiwan region is marked by the high positive Z-values
that imply seismicity reduction. In contrast, areas surrounding the Chi-Chi
earthquake source region have negative Z-values that imply increased
activity prior to the main event. (b) Distribution of the Z-values from
1 January 1995 to 31 December 1996 suggests the background seismicity.
