Isn't Taiyuan above the earthquake zone?

As far as geological structure is concerned, Taiyuan itself has several active faults, and Haozhuang is located at the intersection of Dongshan piedmont fault and Tianzhuang fault. As the energy of geological activities accumulates to a certain extent, a release point will be selected, and in places with weak geological structures, a release point will be selected. Therefore, Haozhuang has become the release point of energy accumulation in recent years. Experts said: "It is normal for a strong earthquake to occur in Haozhuang." "It's like the weather changes, people will catch a cold, and they will feel a sore throat first. There is no need to make a fuss. " Moreover, except for the earthquake of magnitude 5 in 2002, statistics in history and since the 1970s show that there was no strong earthquake in Haozhuang.

The seismic activity in China is mainly distributed in 23 seismic zones in five regions.

These five regions are:

① Taiwan Province Province and its adjacent waters;

(2) Southwest China, mainly Tibet, western Sichuan and central and western Yunnan;

(3) Northwest China, mainly distributed in Hexi Corridor of Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia and the foothills of Tianshan Mountain;

④ North China, mainly located on both sides of Taihang Mountain, Wei Fen Valley, Yinshan-Yanshan area, Luzhong and Bohai Bay;

⑤ Southeast coastal areas such as Guangdong and Fujian. Taiwan Province province in China is located in the Pacific Rim seismic belt, Tibet, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Sichuan and Qinghai provinces are located in the Himalayan-Mediterranean seismic belt, and other provinces are located in related seismic belts.

Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province is located in the earthquake zone. ...

Forget about academics, let's give some practical examples and personal experiences.

In 20 16, two earthquakes occurred in Taiyuan. They are 201611.0618 and 20 16 65438+2.06 18, just one month apart.

On 2016165438+1October 18, I happened to lie prone on my desk, and then I felt that the whole desk and floor were shaking slightly ... I was confused at that time and rushed out of the building immediately after I reacted.

The earthquake that day was 3.4.

The magnitude of the earthquake is not big, but it scares me. After all, it is the first time in my life to encounter an earthquake.

20 16 12 18 earthquake, I am much more stable.

After the earthquake a month ago, I have been thinking about when it will happen and what to do when I fall asleep at night ... Sometimes, nothing will happen, but I always feel that the earth is shaking. ...

I was still indoors on 20 16 12 18. But this time it was a small earthquake. However, this earthquake was stronger than the first one. When there was an earthquake, my first reaction was: This should be a small earthquake. Should I run? ...

The cities in the earthquake zone mainly include: Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Shenyang, Hefei, Taiyuan, Fuzhou, Taiwan Province, Kunming, Chengdu, Lanzhou, Yinchuan and Urumqi. Not being in the earthquake zone means that the possibility of an earthquake is small, but there will be a strong sense of shock.

As can be seen from the above, Taiyuan is located in the earthquake zone. There are four major earthquake zones in China, namely: 1, Taiwan Province province in the southeast and Fujian coastal area; 2. Taihang Mountain and Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area in North China; 3. Southwest Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its marginal provinces of Sichuan and western Yunnan; 4. Xinjiang, Gansu and Ningxia in the west.

Taiyuan must be located in the earthquake zone. Fenhe river basin is not entirely formed by the erosion of Fenhe river. Fenhe graben determines the flow direction, and the graben is formed by dislocation of plates. Taiyuan is located in Fenhe Graben, which is not a stable geological structure. If the plates continue to be dislocated, earthquakes will occur.

I am from Taiyuan, and I have experienced at least a dozen felt earthquakes in my life. The first known earthquake was Xingtai earthquake of 1966. I was studying in Taiyuan No.1 Middle School. During the earthquake, my desk shook and made a noise, and the classroom lighting tube lights swung violently. All the students were stunned at first, then rushed out of the teaching building and ran to the playground to shout, and their hearts thumped. Then the whole people popularized earthquake prevention knowledge, which was very lively. From then on, I understood that if you encounter the epicenter of a strong earthquake, there is no chance to run out. It is wise to hide in the triangle at home as quickly as possible. In addition, the earthquake resistance of your house is the most critical. Can resist the basic security of level 7. If they don't resist earthquakes, just accept their fate. After that, I never felt the earthquake again and ran around. I live on the third and fourth floors, and I know I can't win. 5. During the12 earthquake, I can predict the southwest earthquake from the swinging direction of the lights. In less than an hour, an earthquake of magnitude 8 or above occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province on TV. 1966 it's been 50 years, and I still live in a prefabricated building that is not earthquake-resistant. After more than a dozen earthquakes, I feel very safe. It is also very lucky. I can only thank God for the care of Taiyuan, and I also look forward to living in a building with a frame structure and no longer being threatened by the earthquake.

I don't know the earthquake zone, but I know that the number of cultural relics on the ground in Shanxi ranks first in the country. I remember there was a saying in a temple (I forgot the specific temple): Why are there so many cultural relics in Shanxi (most temples are made of wood)? There are two main reasons, one is that the climate in Shanxi is dry and there is little rain, and the other is that there has never been a destructive earthquake. Therefore, our Shanxi is still relatively stable.

Taiyuan, formerly known as Bingzhou, is not called Longcheng. It is a prosperous place in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the Li Dynasty, and the city has a long history. Taiyuan City is located in the Taiyuan Basin in the impact plain of Fenhe River, with stable geological structure. Ancient people built sites not only to live by water, but also to examine the direction of mountains and rivers. According to the geomantic geography of ancient five lines of gossip, after comprehensive consideration, they will choose the site to build the city. Taiyuan, which has always been an important town around Beijing and Hebei, will naturally be cautious in site selection. According to the survey, there was no major earthquake in Taiyuan within 4000 north latitude.

There is no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer and a large temperature difference between day and night in Taiyuan. It is a good place for summer in the north. Rest assured to invest in life, Taiyuan people welcome you,

Humans still know too little about earthquakes, and the earthquake zone is just a hypothesis. No one can prove that there will be an earthquake in this earthquake zone. People only think that earthquakes are caused by the compression of continental plate movements according to reasoning, but it has not been confirmed, because earthquakes are diverse, happen very fast and it is difficult to collect information. Although human science and technology have developed into outer space, we know very little about the interior of the earth, so all the predicted earthquakes at present are false.
