Abstract
It is known that the Frequency Magnitude relationship in Gutenberg-Richter law, lg(N)=A-B·M, is nonlinear based on the statistics by using seimological catalogue.A turning isusually occurred in magnitude of 3 to 4.Call the slope of the higher segment in Frequency Magnitude relationship as Bh, the lower as Bl and the angle between them as a-the Non-linear Deviation.And suppose a is negative when Bh>Bl, elso is positive.A positive devia-tion before strong earthquakes was found by the time-space scanning of a in North West Bei-jing and Datong area.
