...Xian-Sheng Hao; Kazuoh Seo; Takanori Samano Abstract During the 1976 Tangshan earthquake ( M = 7.8), a low earthquake damage anomaly was reported in Yutian area. This low damage area has not been explained satisfactorily because of insufficient ground-motion records in this area. The Japan-China...

The green and red ones represent the earthquakes one month before and three months after the mainshock, respectively. (b) Detection result for the Yutian, Xinjiang, mainshock. The template earthquakes are marked by red...

...Shengfeng Zhang; Yongxian Zhang; Sha Li Abstract On 22 May 2021, an M s 7.4 earthquake with a focal depth of 17 km struck the Maduo region of Qinghai province, breaking a 3.8‐year quiescence of strong earthquakes (magnitude >7.0) in mainland China. This event has increased stress on the Maqin...

... Seismological Society of America According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), an M w  7.4 earthquake struck Maduo County, China, on 21 May 2021. The hypocenter was located at 98.255° E, 34.586° N, and the focal depth was 10 km ( U.S. Geological Survey [USGS], 2021 ). The earthquake occurred...

... fault zone in Lushan county of Sichuan province, China. Because the epicenters of the two events were only 90 km apart, and the aftershock areas were separated (Fig.  1 ), there has been great interest in both how the seismogenic structures of the two events interrelate, and whether events of M s  7.0...
