An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred in the sea area of Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province. How strong is the earthquake?

Life is never smooth sailing, and accidents happen anytime and anywhere in life. You never know who will come first tomorrow and the accident. Human beings are very small in the face of natural disasters, and many people die every year because of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and so on. Recently, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province. The earthquake is quite obvious, 254 kilometers away from Shanghai, but there is still a strong earthquake in Shanghai. The focal depth reaches 17 km, which is still a terrible number.

Many netizens said that they were at home, and then they saw the lights at home swaying, and the circle of friends was full of news of the earthquake. The magnitude 5 earthquake in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, said it was not big, but it was not big. If this had happened before, it would have caused serious casualties. But with the development of society and the continuous progress of science and technology, we have all kinds of methods to prevent earthquakes and are familiar with all kinds of survival, so here we are.

The earthquake in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province not only affected the local area, but also felt a very strong earthquake in Nanjing, Shanghai and other cities. Many netizens said on social platforms that it was so scary that their buildings were shaking. Indeed, in the face of the earthquake, human existence is very small. In many parts of the world, countless people died because of earthquakes. But because of the method of measuring earthquakes, it is not as serious as before.

In my mind, what I remember most is the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. I remember that the Wenchuan earthquake was as high as magnitude 8, and it happened at night. Many people did not expect that countless families lost their lives because of this incident. It was also the first time I felt it at that time. What is China speed? Now life is getting better and better, our living standard is improving gradually, and people's happiness index is also rising gradually, but we should not forget the past, but keep it in mind and cherish the present better.
