Tai -wan is often hit by an earthquake because of its location on the edges of two tectonic plates near the Pacific Fire Ring, which USGS says is the most seismically active zone in the world.
The last important earthquake occurred in April 2024, when the island was hit by a mortal shaking of 7.4 Magnitude, which officials said it was the strongest in 25 years.
In this earthquake, at least 17 people were killed, which triggered landslides and seriously damaged buildings around Hualien.
It was the most serious in Taiwan because in 1999 he hit 7.6 Magnitude.
About 2,400 people have died in this earthquake, making it the smallest natural disaster in the history of the island.
Tai -wan lies along the Pacific “Fire Ring”, a line of seismic mistakes surrounding the Pacific Ocean from Chile to New Zealand, where most of the earthquakes in the world occur.
On Monday, a 6.3 -size earthquake rattled.
The inhabitants in the area chose the remains of several collapsed zinc structures.
There were no reports of serious injuries, but the authorities investigated minor damage in several other villages.
In Bogota – a city set in High Andes and a home for eight million people – a lengthy impact caused sirens to leave and cause a large alarm.
