40 earthquakes struck Taiwan late at night, why are earthquakes so frequent in Taiwan?

The earthquakes in the Taiwan Strait are the same as the earthquakes around Taiwan's land area and those in Japan, and every year there are earthquakes of different magnitudes, large and small. It is due to the fact that it is on the seismic belt around the stable oceanic waters. So this morning's earthquake in the Taiwan Strait is not strange. This is also the result of many years of observation. Today, mankind has not been able to predict earthquakes, but after a long period of observation of the seismic area to do some prediction is able to get, in order to reduce losses.

Because of Taiwan's astronomical location in the Eurasian continental plate and the Philippine Sea plate collision with each other on the pivot point, belonging to the typical plate collision produced by the continental margin of the island, and the world's about 70% of the seismic episodes in the ring of the Settlement Ocean seismic zone, so around the area, such as Japan, will be frequent episodes of large and small earthquakes.

And the specification of the magnitude of the earthquake is also China's neighboring Guangdong, Fujian, Xiamen and other places to produce intense tremors. Please learn some common sense to avoid earthquakes, safe self-help, no need to panic. Also pay more attention to the State seismic network released earthquake warning information as well. Taiwan and nearby Fujian, the Ryukyus and other places, since ancient times are earthquake-prone areas, including Taiwan Province of such a small island can also be squeezed out of more than 3,960 meters of the Jade Mountain, and a series of more than three thousand meters of the mountain, and the mountain's east side is more than 6,000 meters deep trench, the interval between Hualien and Pingtung is just a few dozen kilometers. Taiwan's own province also has volcanoes and other sites, hot springs and other incomparable.

The seismic influence of the sea can be elucidated by a simple analogy, that is, the waves impact on a beach boulder, and we are the stone on the small sandstone, when a huge wave comes, may be the big stone may be impacted, but the small sandstone is connected with the stone, so simply will be fine. Earthquakes that strike inside Taiwan don't have as much luck, it's simply the rock that shows up underneath the piercing armor. That kind of turmoil just swings violently from side to side from the center.

As for why frequent, in the seismic zone will be frequent, section movement is so, you see Japan is also very bad, simply every year will be a big earthquake. Bad astronomical location is just that. Also, tsunamis can cause earthquakes, and the simple analogy is that after the dark clouds pile up, the torrential rains are capable enough to destroy the little chrysanthemums on the side of the road.
