柴达木盆地北缘地区是地震频发地段，曾多次发生6.0以上地震。1962年

The northern margin of the Qaidam Basin is an earthquake-prone area, and earthquakes above 6.0 have occurred many times. The magnitude 6.8 earthquake (37.1°N, 96.0°E) near North Hobson Lake in Qinghai on May 21, 1962 was the largest earthquake in the area. The microscopic epicenter was an uninhabited area and was restricted by historical and traffic conditions. At that time, there was no scientific investigation of the earthquake, and no scholars did research work on the earthquake in the later period. Since the Delingha M6.6 earthquake in Qinghai in 2003, two earthquakes of M6.3 and 6.4 occurred in the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin in 2008 and 2009, which aroused the attention of researchers.

The northern edge of the Chaidamu Basin is a frequent area of earthquakes, with more than 6.0 earthquakes occurring many times. On May 21, 1962, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake (37.1 degrees N, 96.0 degrees E) near Lake Hobson in north Qinghai was the largest earthquake in the region, with the micro-epicenter being no man's land, subject to historical and traffic conditions, and no scientific investigation was carried out on the earthquake, and no scholars had carried out research work on the earthquake. Since the 6.6-magnitude earthquake in 2003, the northern edge of the Chaidamu Basin has occurred in 2008 and 2009. 3, 6.4 magnitude two earthquakes, caused a large number of researchers of high concern.

The northern margin of Qaidam Basin is an area with frequent earthquakes, and more than 6.0 earthquakes have occurred many times. The m s6.8 earthquake (37.1 ° n, 96.0 ° E) near the North Hobson Lake in Qinghai Province on May 21, 1962 is the largest earthquake in this area. The micro epicenter is no man's land. Restricted by historical and traffic conditions, there was no scientific investigation on the earthquake at that time, and no scholars did any related research on the earthquake. Since the Delingha earthquake with M = 6.6 in 2003, two earthquakes with M = 6.3 and M = 6.4 have occurred in the northern margin of Qaidam Basin in 2008 and 2009, which have aroused great attention of researchers.
