According to the phenomenon of statistical relationships showing different distributions, between the area and cumulative frequency of landslides in Ⅹ,Ⅺ seismic intensity of Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, 6 sandpile model tests under seismic were conducted with the increase of seismic peak ground acceleration ranging from 0.075 g to 0.450 g. The phenomenon of statistical relationships was reproduced by the tests between the amount and cumulative frequency of sand changing from power-law distribution to lognormal distribution, then to normal distribution, with increase of seismic loading. By mathematical analysis, the decrease of the coefficient of variation is the cause of probability distribution shift between power-law, lognormal distribution and normal distribution. Observed through experiments, the performance of grains on the surface of sandpile will show different models with the increase of seismic loading. Under weak vibration, the probability that the activity will die is overall balanced with the probability that the activity will branch. A large-scale collapse occurs when there is a chain interaction between neighboring grains. It has the greatest uncertainty. Under strong vibration, most grains start independently. A large-scale collapse becomes a certain event. Therefore, the scale of collapse is transformed from the chain reaction of unstable grains triggered by self-organized effect to the independent falling of unstable grains triggered by vibrating force effect, which is the physical mechanism of the reducing of Cv. According to the above realization, the phenomenon of the relation between area and cumulative frequency changing from power-law distribution to lognormal distribution with the increase of seismic intensity of Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake may be universal.
