Two sudden earthquakes occurred in Taitung, Taiwan, with magnitude 6.5 and magnitude 4.7 respectively. There were obvious tremors on both sides of the Taiwan Strait! I wonder if friends in Fujian and Fuzhou felt it? I just hope that the people of Taiwan Province are safe and sound! What is the truth hidden behind the Taiwan earthquake ? It turns out that Taiwan is actually an earthquake-prone area.
Under the influence of the earthquake, the chandeliers at homes of Taiwanese residents were shaking wildly, and the water in the fish tanks in the homes of residents in Taitung County, Taiwan was shaken out. The surveillance footage of the swimming pool on the 24th floor was exposed, and the water in the swimming pool formed huge waves, and the crowd screamed, which showed the great sway!
The first earthquake occurred at 21:41 on September 17, 2022. The earthquake was magnitude 6.5, with a depth of 10 kilometers, and then another magnitude 4.7 earthquake occurred at 21:55.
The epicenter of this time is Taidong County, but it caused a strong tremor in Taiwan. Even the mainland Xiamen and Guangzhou also had obvious tremors. Even far away in Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, there were tremor reports! Some netizens even said that Ningbo has tremors. His family lives on the tenth floor, and the lights are shaking all the time! It can be seen that the power of this earthquake is so great! This time I only hope that the smaller the casualties caused by the earthquake, the better. I hope that Taiwan compatriots will be safe and safe!
So what is the truth behind the Taiwan earthquake? ?In fact, Taiwan has always been a province with multiple earthquakes. This island is formed by the squeezing and uplifting of the Eurasian plate and the Philippines plate. It is precisely because of the rich orogenic and crust movements here that Taiwan’s terrain is in a complex and diverse state.
Although Taiwan is prone to earthquakes, Taiwan's earthquake areas are divided into three parts: the western, eastern and northeastern. The western earthquakes are the least, while the eastern and northeastern are different because it is located in the plate aggregation zone, with a deeper focal source, and it is easy to produce multiple earthquakes!
At the same time, researchers found that the number of earthquakes in Hualien and Nan'ao showed an increasingly frequent trend. You should know that 30 to 40 induced or insensitive earthquakes occurred in the century from 1900 to 1994, but the situation changed in 1994. At that time, an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 occurred. From then on, there may be more than 70 or 80 earthquakes here in a month. From 1914 to 2014, a total of 3,888 earthquakes of magnitude 5 and above occurred across the country, but more than one-third of them occurred in Taiwan! For example, the Hsinchu Guandaoshan earthquake in 1935 had an magnitude 7.1 hrs, causing 12,053 injuries and 3,276 deaths! In February 2016, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake occurred in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Of course, according to the calculation of China Earthquake Network, it was magnitude 6.7, and the focal depth reached 15km. And that earthquake was equivalent to the big fireworks that were once placed in Japan, and there were two, causing the collapse of many buildings! The disaster that now makes us feel heartbroken when we think about it!
This magnitude 6.5 earthquake is similar to the earthquake that occurred in 2016. I don’t know how much casualties this earthquake caused. The same blood flows in our bodies on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait care about each other, and in the end, sincerely pray for Taiwan compatriots to be safe! Disasters are not terrible, because disasters are ruthless and people are affectionate!
