According to China Earthquake Network , a magnitude 4.3 earthquake occurred in Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province at 1:49 on October 3. The focal depth was 10 kilometers. The epicenter was located at 38.35 degrees north latitude and 113.73 degrees east longitude.

When we Chinese mention earthquakes, we are a little worried because there are too many sad memories in our memories. Not to mention the distant future, the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake are pains that we Chinese people will never erase.

Shijiazhuang earthquake zone distribution
Shijiazhuang is located in North China Plain , and several earthquake areas in my country belong to North China earthquake areas. There are many earthquake zones published in the earthquake zone in North China: Tancheng-Yingkou earthquake zone , North China Plain earthquake zone , Fenwei earthquake zone , Yinchuan-Hetao earthquake zone, etc. Shijiazhuang is at the junction of , Hebei and Central sectors and Shanxi-Hebei sectors.
North China Plain Seismic Belt Distribution Map
Shijiazhuang Seismic Belt is a gravity anomaly zone, and its main characteristics are: on the basis of large-scale settlement of the mountain front plain, new fault activities occur along the mountain front fault zone of Taihang Mountain . In history, the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Xingtai in 1966 occurred in this earthquake zone. Premier Zhou even went to our hometown to express condolences.

Is there a possibility of a major earthquake in Shijiazhuang?
The magnitude of this Shijiazhuang earthquake is not large, but there are shocks in the surrounding areas. According to the China Earthquake Channel Network Quick Report Directory, there have been 20 earthquakes above magnitude 3 in the past five years within 200 kilometers around the epicenter, with constant small earthquakes. So is there a possibility of a major earthquake in Shijiazhuang?
In history, there have been four major earthquakes around Shijiazhuang, namely:
- 679 (the eighteenth year of the Kangxi reign), magnitude 8 magnitude
- 830 (the tenth year of Daoguang), Handan earthquake with a magnitude 7.5 magnitude
- 966 Xingtai earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.2
- 976 Tangshan earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.8
Four major earthquakes had a large magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of magnitude of Therefore, in the earthquake zone, there is a possibility of a major earthquake in Shijiazhuang, but there is no need to worry too much. There has been no major earthquake in Shijiazhuang in history. Hopefully, it won't happen in the future.
