3. Why won't there be an earthquake in Yangquan? Hello, I'm glad to answer your question.

First, correct a mistake made by the landlord. Yangquan is not without earthquakes, but the probability of earthquakes is very small. The seismic activity in China is mainly distributed in 23 seismic zones in five regions. The seismic activity in China is mainly distributed in 23 seismic zones in five regions. These five areas are: ① Taiwan Province Province and its adjacent waters; (2) Southwest China, mainly * * *, 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, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Sichuan and Qinghai provinces are located in the Himalayan-Mediterranean seismic belt, and other provinces are located in related seismic belts. The distribution of China's seismic zones is an important basis for formulating key earthquake monitoring and defense areas in China.

Yangquan belongs to North China, and the North China seismic zone is divided into four seismic zones:

(1) Tancheng-Yingkou seismic belt. Including most or part of the areas from Suqian to Tieling in Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces. It is a strong seismic activity zone in eastern Chinese mainland. 1668 Tancheng M8.5 earthquake, 1969 Bohai M7.4 earthquake and 1974 Haicheng M7.4 earthquake all occurred in this seismic zone. According to records, there have been more than 60 earthquakes of magnitude 4.7 or above in this area. Among them, there were 6 earthquakes of magnitude 7-7.9; Earthquakes with M ≥ 8 1 time.

(2) North China Plain seismic belt. The southern boundary is roughly located on Xinxiang-Bengbu line, the northern boundary is located on the south side of Yanshan Mountain, the western boundary is located on the east side of Taihang Mountain, the eastern boundary is located on the western edge of Xialiaohe-Liaodongwan Depression, and it reaches the southeast of Tianjin in the south and Suzhou in the economic southeast. It is the most threatening earthquake zone in Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area. 1679 Sanhe M8.0 earthquake in Hebei province and 1976 Tangshan M8.8 earthquake occurred in this area. According to statistics, there have been more than 40 earthquakes 140 in this area. Among them, there were 5 earthquakes of magnitude 7-7.9; Earthquakes with M ≥ 8 1 time.

(3) Wei Fen seismic belt. It starts from Xuanhua-Huai 'an Basin and Huailai-Yanqing Basin in Hebei Province in the north, passes Yangyuan Basin, Yuxian Basin, Datong Basin, Ding Xin Basin, Lingqiu Basin, Taiyuan Basin, Linfen Basin and Yuncheng Basin, and reaches Weihe Basin in the south. It is another strong seismic activity zone in eastern China. Shanxi 1303 Hongdong M8.0 earthquake and Shaanxi 1556 hua county M8.0 earthquake both occurred in this area. June1998+1October 65438 Zhangbei M 6.2 earthquake is also near this zone. Since recorded, there have been about 160 earthquakes of magnitude 4.7 or above in this seismic zone. Among them, the earthquake was 7-7.9; There were 2 earthquakes of magnitude 8 or above.

(4) Yinchuan-Hetao seismic belt. Yinchuan, Uda, Dengkou and some areas west of Hohhot are located in the west and north of Hetao area. 1739 Yinchuan M8.0 earthquake in Ningxia occurred in this area. In this seismic zone, historical earthquake records began in 849 AD. Due to the lack of historical records, according to the available data, there are about 40 earthquakes of magnitude 4.7 or above recorded in this area. Among them, there were 9 earthquakes of magnitude 6-6.9; M8 earthquake 1 time.

From the seismic belt map, Yangquan is just in the gap between the North China Plain seismic belt and the Wei Fen seismic belt in the North China seismic belt, and it is unlikely that a major earthquake will occur in Yangquan. However, if Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang and other surrounding cities have a major earthquake of magnitude 6 or above, Yangquan will certainly be affected, and even there will be a disaster, because Yangquan is a coal city, and the underground has been hollowed out, and magnitude 6 is already a disaster.

I hope my answer will satisfy you, I hope you can relax and I wish you a good mood every day:)

5. Earthquake A 2.9-magnitude earthquake occurred at the junction of Shouyang, Yuxian County, a suburb of Yangquan. February 9, 2000 1 1:29 Shanxi News Network No:T|T was a weak earthquake, which was not enough for this newspaper to report on February 8 (Reporter Huo). According to the China Seismological Network, it was in Yuxian and Yangquan City at 7: 22 today.

This morning, the reporter received calls from many Yuxian citizens, reflecting that they felt the earthquake. Subsequently, the reporter learned from the Seismological Bureau of Yangquan City that the epicenter of the earthquake was located near the junction of Yangjiagou Village, Nanlou Town, Yuxian County, Yangquan suburb and Shouyang County, Jinzhong City, with a focal depth of about 7 kilometers.

The staff of the bureau also received a phone call from five or six local people in Yuxian this morning to verify whether there was an earthquake. The staff of Yangquan Seismological Bureau told the reporter that generally speaking, earthquakes below magnitude 3 are weak earthquakes.

Such a small-scale earthquake is not enough to cause damage, only a sense of shock, residents do not have to panic.
