Based on magnetotelluric array data and the three‐dimensional (3D) inversion algorithm, we obtain the 3D electrical structure of the 1976 Ms7.8 Tangshan earthquake zone. The seismogenic structure comprised a thick resistive anomaly located east of the Tangshan fault (TSF), a thin resistive belt exte...
