Why is there an earthquake in Rushan Yintan, Weihai?

Because Rushan, Shandong Province is located in the Pacific Rim seismic belt and at the junction of the Asia-Europe plate and the Pacific plate, tectonic earthquakes sometimes occur due to the movement of the crust.

According to the geological conditions of Shandong Peninsula and the earthquake records in recent decades, the crustal activity of Shandong Peninsula is relatively stable. However, it is necessary to conduct a detailed study of the local stratigraphic structure, which is the responsibility of the State Seismological Bureau.

For example:

At 20 14, 1.8,1.7 at 22: 24, after the earthquake of M4.3 occurred in Rushan City, the earthquake was felt strongly in six towns in the epicenter, and some houses were damaged by the earthquake, such as tiles falling off and cracks in the wall, and there were no casualties and buildings collapsing. At present, the local production and living order is normal and the society is stable.

Extended data:

Yintan, Rushan City, Weihai, Shandong Province, is located in Baishatan Town, about 1 1 km east of Rushan City, and belongs to the national 4A-level scenic spot. There are more than 20 kilometers of coastline resources to the west, and the silver fine sand is soft and comfortable, especially in the Thumb Square in the center of Yintan. The beach is fine and the seabed slope is gentle. The depth from the coast is more than 100 meter, and the water depth reaches the chest position of adults.

Yintan has four distinct seasons, a small population and a wide area, and the coast is covered with black pine forests. In the year with the worst smog in China, only a small part of the CCTV weather forecast map was marked with light blue, hence the name-the world's first beach "Silver Beach".
