The　reasonable　selection　of　parameters　will　be　of　great　significance　for　earthquake　landslide　assessment.　To　study　the　correlation　between　the　ground　motion　parameters　and　slope　seismic　response,　100　records　of　actual　ground　motion　with　different　characteristics　were　selected,　and　each　of　the　ground　motions’　peak　ground　acceleration　(PGA),　peak　ground　velocity　(PGV),　peak　ground　displacement　(PGD),　effective　peak　acceleration　(EPA),　arias　intensity　(AI),　cumulative　absolute　velocity　(CAV),　duration,　and　characteristic　period　were　taken　into　account.　Moreover,　a　two-dimensional　finite　element　model　of　soil　slope　was　established;　the　deformation　and　stress　response　of　the　slope　under　each　ground　motion　condition　were　simulated.　The　influence　law　of　the　ground　motion　parameters　on　soil　slope　seismic　response　has　been　revealed,　with　the　correlation　between　the　ground　motion　parameters　and　the　soil　slope　seismic　response　being　reflected.　The　results　can　provide　a　theoretical　basis　for　selecting　the　ground　motion　parameter　indexes　in　the　soil　slope　seismic　analysis　and　the　hazard　evaluation　of　earthquake-induced　landslide　(EQIL).　©　2022,　Springer-Verlag　GmbH　Germany,　part　of　Springer　Nature.
