2 is mainly affected by ground temperature and rainfall. About one month before the 2018 Tangshan Guye
M3.3 earthquake, 2019 Tangshan Fengnan
M4.5 earthquake and 2020 Tangshan Guye
M5.1 earthquake, different degrees of abnormal changes were recorded in Zhaogezhuang, Jinzhuang and Beipo. The abnormal patterns mainly included step rise, oscillation rise and sudden jump.
