The latest news of Gongxian earthquake in Yibin, can Yibin still go?

Just after ten o'clock this morning, a 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck Yibin, Sichuan. Especially in its center, the focal depth of Gongxian County reached 8 kilometers. It is said that earthquakes such as Chongqing are strong. However, some experts said that the earthquake intensity was not high and it was regarded as the aftershock of the Changning earthquake. Let's take a look at the latest information.

According to the official measurement by China Seismological Network, an earthquake of magnitude 5.6 occurred in Gongxian County 10, Yibin City, Sichuan Province on July 4 17, with a focal depth of 8 kilometers. The epicenter was located at 28.4 1 degree north latitude and 0/04.74/degree east longitude.

According to the quick report catalogue of China Seismological Station, within 200 kilometers around the epicenter, there were 285 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or above in recent 8 years, and the largest earthquake was the 6.5 earthquake in Ludian County, Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province on August 3, 2065438. The magnitude distribution of the first 50 historical earthquakes is shown in the figure.

Today's weather in Yibin: showers, no continuous breeze, and the temperature is 25~20 all day. Weather conditions in the next three days: cloudy and sunny on the 5th, with the temperature of 28~2 1, and no continuous strong wind and breeze; On the 6th, it was sunny, the temperature was 34~23, and there was no wind and a breeze. On the 7th, it turned cloudy to light rain, the temperature was 32~2 1, and there was no continuous strong wind and breeze.

On the 4th/0/0/7, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 occurred in Gongxian County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, with a focal depth of 8 kilometers and a strong sense of earthquake around it. According to seismologists, this earthquake is still the aftershock of Changning, Sichuan, with a magnitude of 6.0, which is not too high and is unlikely to cause serious secondary disasters.

On July 4, at 10 and 17, an earthquake of magnitude 5.6 occurred in Gongxian County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province (28.4 1 degree north latitude and 0/04.74 degree east longitude) with a focal depth of 8 kilometers. Another netizen said that Chengdu, Chongqing, Leshan, Luzhou and Zigong all had strong earthquakes.

This is the fourth earthquake of magnitude 5 or above in Yibin area after Changning earthquake of magnitude 6.0.

According to the records of China Seismological Network, at 22: 55 on June 17, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 occurred in Changning County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province less than an hour later, and an earthquake with a magnitude of 5. 1 occurred in Gongxian County nearby at 23: 36 that night. At 7: 34 am on June 18, an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred again in Changning County. At 22: 29 on June 22, an earthquake of magnitude 5.4 occurred in Gongxian County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province.

Sun Shizhen, a researcher at China Seismological Network Center, analyzed that the earthquake was still the aftershock of the Sichuan Changning M6.0 earthquake. Sun Shizhen reminded that after aftershocks and continuous rainfall in the earthquake zone, attention should be paid to secondary disasters such as landslides. However, he also said that the magnitude of this aftershock is not too high, so it is unlikely to cause serious secondary disasters.

Earlier, on June 2 1 day, Zhang Zhiwei, deputy director of Sichuan Earthquake Prediction Research Center, introduced at the press conference that the epicentre of Changning earthquake was located at the edge of Sichuan Basin, and the main geological structures were Changning anticline and Baixiangyan Shizitan anticline. There are many small-scale secondary faults criss-crossing this area.

At that time, he said that there were many aftershocks of the earthquake, all related to some small-scale secondary faults, which triggered activities and distributed near the earthquake zone. At present, the aftershock activity is fluctuating and decaying.
