Abstract
Global seismicity of the earth is controlled by plate tectonics framework and then it is a key for clarifying the structure and dynamics of the earth interior. Especially, huge amounts of global seismic data are now accumulating and monitoring to be open in the scientific use involving the global mechanics of the short-term plate tectonics.
