Abstract
At present there are still a lot of controversy about the genetic mechanism of earthquake, in this paper, at first we analysis many materials include trench, drilling, well logging and geophysical prospecting data, all results show that Wenchuan earthquake is a kind of cryptoexplosion process developed gradually from southwest to northeast. By further comparing the results of abroad earthquake study, we speculate that the explosive power of earthquake mechanism includes two aspects, one is the expansion of fluid phase change that cause underground explosion, the other is discharge (lightning) with leakage of the underground accumulated negative charges. Then through comparing the metallogenic mechanism of porphyry deposit, we learn that earthquake is a releasing process of pressure and temperature, which can meet the basic needs about elements change for porphyry deposit such as pressure, temperature and PH value. Wuchuan earthquake enriched phosphorus, sulfur, iron, manganese and other elements. At last we come to a conclusion that earthquake is a kind of underground concealed explosion process and metallogenic process fired by fault movement.
