Earthquakes on Sunday
On Sunday, September 7, China experienced an earthquake of 4.1 in a shallow depth of 10 km, which increases the likelihood of shocks.
In the post on X, NCS informed: “EQ of M: 4.1, on: 07/09/2025 15:50:11, lat: 32.54 N, long: 92,58 E, depth: 10 km, location: China.”
The impact of a shallow earthquake
Shallow earthquakes are usually considered more dangerous than deep, because seismic waves from these shocks have a shorter path to travel to the surface. This leads to a stronger tremor of the Earth and potentially greater damage to buildings and an increase in victims.
Why is China prone to earthquakes?
China lies between the two largest seismic belts, including giant and Pacific seismic zones. This area surrounded by a Pacific album, an Indian album and a Philippine album has well developed seismic fractures. From the entry to the 20th century, more than 800 earthquakes of 6 or higher in size have occurred in China. The earthquake was influenced by almost all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, with the exception of Guizha, Zhejiang and Hong Kong, and reported.
The impact of an earthquake in China
Since 1900, more than 5,50,000 people have died in China, which represents 53% of the worldwide victims of the earthquake. Since 1949, China has experienced more than 100 destructive earthquakes in its provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. Among them there were 14 earthquakes in Eastern China.
More than 2,70,000 people lost their lives for an earthquake, which represents almost 54% of all deaths on natural disasters in China. The regions of the most vulnerable to the earthquakes spread 3,000,000 kilometers and seismic events have destroyed more than 7 million rooms.
