Taiwan Kaohsiung MRT has been suspended due to strong earthquakes. Kaohsiung MRT said that the trains between stations have been changed to a speed limit of 20 kilometers per hour. The current train will clear the train after the next station. After clearing the train, the train patrol operations will be carried out, and after checking the tracks, confirming that all the operating lines have been inspected, they will resume normal operation.

Taichung MRT stated that it has confirmed that the signal system has no abnormal alarms and the power system has not jumped. The trains on the entire line have entered the station at a slow speed to evacuate passengers. The system has suspended operations and set a temporary speed limit of 20 kilometers per hour to patrol, and instructed each station to inspect the station body. The maintenance unit has been notified.

Taipei MRT Company pointed out that after receiving the earthquake news, it immediately carried out slow rail patrol operations for the entire train in accordance with the standard process. This is also the second time that Beijie implemented slow driving on the same day.

Meteorological Department:

Taiwan aftershock may last for one month

Taiwan Meteorological Department stated on the 18th that preliminary judgment that Taiwan's strong earthquake was caused by fault compression under the central mountain range .

According to current statistics, the frequency of aftershocks is slowing down, but it is not ruled out that there will be strong aftershocks, and aftershocks of magnitude 3 or above may last for one month.

About the issues that everyone is concerned about

Zhejiang Provincial Earthquake Bureau answers

Why do there are many earthquakes in Taiwan?

Taiwan Island is located at the junction of Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. It is one of the most intense seismic activities in the Western Pacific earthquake belt. In addition to the shallow source strong earthquake, there are also deep source strong earthquakes in the eastern waters, with dense faults on the island. So far, there are 33 active faults that have been discovered. earthquakes occur frequently, especially in eastern Taiwan, earthquake activity is significantly stronger than in western Taiwan. Since the record of , nearly 300 magnitude 6-6.9 earthquakes occurred in Taiwan Island and surrounding waters, more than 40 magnitude 7-7.9 earthquakes, and two magnitude 8 or above.

The eastern part of Taiwan has strong fracture activity, and the faults are mainly distributed on both sides of the Huadong Long Valley and the vertical valley. The Huadong Long Valley is the collision junction between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. Due to the two plates squeeze each other, earthquake activity is very frequent. More than 200 magnitude 6-6.9 earthquakes, more than 30 magnitude 7-7.9 earthquakes, and two magnitude 8- or above occurred in eastern Taiwan.

The fault in western Taiwan is mainly located in the western Taiwan Plain, with weaker seismic activity than in eastern Taiwan. Nearly 100 earthquakes of magnitude 6 to 6.9 and more than 10 earthquakes of magnitude 7 to 7.9. The magnitude 7.6 earthquake that occurred in Jiji Town, Nantou County, Taiwan on September 21, 1999 was caused by the Chelanpu fault activity in western Taiwan.
