Abstract：This paper analyzes the time trend of load-unload response ratio in Taiwan. The results show that the load-unload response ratio would present abnormal high values or small jumps before the earthquakes with MS≥7.0 in Taiwan; before over 50 percents of these earthquakes occurred, the load-unload response ratio showed abnormal rise, the anomalous amplitude and duration was linear positive correlation with the magnitude of the following earthquake, which means that the longer the abnormity continues, the larger the anomalous amplitude, and the stronger the following earthquake. All the earthquakes, which have abnormal rises before, happened in south of 24 north latitude of east Taiwan.
