Just now, at 21:41 on the 17th, an earthquake of about 6.6 occurred near Taitung County, Taiwan. There are obvious tremors in Fujian, Xiamen , Quanzhou , etc. in mainland China. Actually, this is not surprising, because the distance from Xiamen to Taitung County, Taiwan Province is only more than 300 kilometers. Because Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places are across the sea from Taiwan, there are no mountains and rivers in the middle. Earthquakes of around magnitude 6.6 may affect these places.
In recent times, earthquakes were very frequent. First, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred in Luding, Sichuan on September 5, followed by three magnitude 6 and above earthquakes occurred in Indonesia on September 10 and 11. At 7:46 am on September 11, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred in northeastern Papua New Guinea on on New Guinea Island . Then there is an earthquake of about 6.6 in Taitung County, Taiwan Province, my country today. It is still unknown whether there will be earthquakes in other places next.
There are so many earthquakes recently, are they related? There is no direct correlation in terms of the earthquake location, because the earthquake difference in each place is quite far. But if it is the crustal movement of the mainland plate, many of the above places belong to seismic zones, and the probability of earthquakes is relatively high.
No matter whether the above guess is correct, given the frequent earthquakes recently, everyone should always remember it. When you find a strong tremor, run to an open place first. No one can tell whether an earthquake is really coming, so it is correct to raise awareness of prevention.
