Ten most deadly earthquakes in the history of China.

When it comes to the great earthquake in the history of China, my knowledge is limited. I only know the famous Tangshan earthquake and the Wenchuan earthquake a few years ago. I really don't know the rest. One history is too long, and the other is not recorded in such detail now. I don't think many people will know what big earthquakes there are in China's history. If you don't know, let's take a look at the top ten deadliest earthquakes in China's history with this website.

The top ten earthquakes with the heaviest casualties in China were 1, Gregorian calendar 1303 and September 17, respectively, and a strong earthquake of magnitude 8 occurred in Zhao Cheng, Hong Tong, Shanxi.

The first recorded earthquake of magnitude 8 in the history of China. On the sixth day of August in the seventh year of Yuan Dade, a strong earthquake occurred in Zhao Cheng, Hongdong, Shanxi on June 1303. Historical records? No official residence? The building was badly damaged. When the mountains destroy the hills, the anger of the earth rushes through the valley. The castle moved more than ten miles? The landscape of mountains and rivers has changed; ? More than 200,000 people died? There were heavy casualties. The earthquake is characterized by great vibration intensity, serious damage, huge casualties and wide spread. According to the relationship between intensity and magnitude, the intensity is 8 degrees. The remains of this earthquake still exist in Hongdong, and the inscriptions scattered all over Shanxi vividly describe the earthquake damage at that time.

2.1On June 23rd, 556, an earthquake of magnitude 8.25 occurred in Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province.

5, Gregorian calendar1920 65438+February 16, a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.5 occurred in Haiyuan County, Ningxia.

1920 65438+February 16 at 20: 05: 53, a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.5 occurred in Haiyuan county, Ningxia (36.5 degrees north latitude, 0/05.7 degrees east longitude).

Haiyuan earthquake also caused the largest earthquake landslide in China's history. When the earthquake happened, landslides occurred, and some living rooms moved out of the mountain for two or three miles. During the earthquake, more than 200 kilometers of fault zone appeared in the center of the earthquake, and the strike was northwest-northwest, mainly left-lateral translation dislocation and vertical dislocation. This earthquake was the first time that China conducted an investigation from the perspective of modern science, which prompted geoscientists in China to study the China earthquake. A cave in the disaster area died 100 people; In some villages, more than 300 people were buried in the same cave during landslides. The dead were buried hundreds of miles away, the wounded were crying everywhere, wild dogs were eating people, and the scene of the victims was terrible.

It happened at 3: 42 on July 28th, 1976 in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, China (the epicenter latitude was 39.4 degrees, and the east longitude was 1 18.0 degrees). The magnitude of the earthquake is 7.8, and the epicenter intensity is VII. On that day 18: 43, an earthquake of magnitude 7. 1 occurred in Luanxian County, more than 40 kilometers away from Tangshan, with the epicenter intensity of 7 degrees. The Tangshan earthquake occurred in a densely populated and economically developed industrial city, and the losses were extremely heavy. The earthquake killed more than 240,000 people and injured more than 6.5438+0.6 million people, making it the world's deadliest earthquake in the 20th century.

Wide range of feelings, covering Liaoning, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia and other 14 provinces, cities and autonomous regions. The radius of damage range is about 250 kilometers. An 8-kilometer-long and 30-meter-wide ground fissure zone crosses fences, houses, roads and canals. In the earthquake zone and its surrounding areas, there are a large number of broken zones, water blasting, blowout, gravity collapse, rolling stones, slope collapse, ground landslide, foundation settlement, cave collapse, goaf collapse and so on. The earthquake happened in an area with many observation networks. Pre-slip occurred before the earthquake, and an earthquake of magnitude 5 or above was predicted.

10, Gregorian calendar May 2008 12, an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province.

On May, 2008 12 14: 28: 04, an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province (3 1 degree north latitude and 0/03.4 degree east longitude). Its intensity, scope, destructiveness and aftershock are unique in the global continental earthquakes. By 07: 00 on June 3rd, there were aftershocks 10037 times in Wenchuan earthquake area. This is the most destructive and widespread earthquake since the founding of New China. The earthquake affected about 500,000 square kilometers in China!
