Why is there no earthquake in Guangxi?

Li Weiqi, deputy director, told reporters that experts have long noticed this "prophecy" of the Brazilian "prophet". Experts believe that there are obvious loopholes in the analysis of the "prediction" itself: First, if the prediction of the "Prophet" is very accurate, why can't it be predicted to the Wenchuan M8.0 earthquake in Sichuan on May 12? Second, the "prophecy" says that the earthquake will cause a tsunami 30 meters high. Between Hainan and Nanning, it is basically land and shallow sea. If an earthquake of magnitude 9. 1 occurs between them, how can a tsunami occur? Tsunamis can only be triggered by undersea earthquakes. The Beibu Gulf area is basically a shallow sea area, and the deepest part is only 100 meters deep. In the sea area with an average depth of tens of meters, it is basically impossible to have a tsunami with a height of 30 meters.

From a scientific point of view, Nanning does not have the crustal movement conditions for an earthquake of magnitude 9. 1.

Li Weiqi said that the biggest earthquake in Guangxi history was the Lingshan earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 in 1936, and the biggest earthquake in China history was only 8.5. Wenchuan, Sichuan is on the edge of the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the collision zone between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is the northern section of the strongest north-south seismic belt in China, that is, the Longmenshan seismic belt, which is a place with very strong seismic activity in the history of our country.

All major earthquakes of magnitude 8 or above in the world occur at the edge of plates where plates collide with each other. Guangxi is located in the South China seismic belt, which is an inland seismic belt. In the history of Guangxi, there have only been three earthquakes of magnitude above 6 on land and two earthquakes of magnitude 6. 1 and 6 at sea. In the historical earthquake records of more than 2000 years in Guangxi, there has never been an earthquake of magnitude 6.8. There is a weakly active seismic belt inland between Nanning and Hainan, so the historical seismic activity and seismic structure between Guangxi and Hainan are similar to Wenchuan.
