Abstract
Lg amplitude decrease $Q^{-1}$ becomes very important when harzadous earthquakes occurred in neighbor nations such as Japan and China because the Lg phase is the largest seismic phase in Korea. The values of Lg $Q^{-1}$ are correlated with seismic activities from the RTSM for IRIS data with long pair distance of stations and events. The Japanese paths crossing the East Sea (Sea of Japan) show high $Q^{-1}$ values related with seismicity and oceanic crust. The paths of Shanghai having the moderate seismicity show the second highest values followed by the Japanese region, while the paths between Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula exhibit low values associated with the low seismicity of the regions.
