From last night to today, earthquakes occurred in many places in China, and an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 occurred in Qinghai. An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 occurred in Yangbi, Yunnan. At about 8 o'clock this morning, an earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred in Shangnan County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province, and an earthquake of magnitude 5. 1 29 occurred in maduo county, Guoluo Prefecture, Qinghai Province.
According to media reports, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake occurred in Cangshan West Town, Yangbi County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province at 2 1 on May 26th, Beijing time, followed by several aftershocks.
After receiving the earthquake warning, the local authorities immediately took emergency measures and took comprehensive earthquake prevention measures.
According to the Dali Prefecture People's Government, as of 6: 00 on the 22nd, the Yunnan earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 has caused 30 deaths, including 2 deaths in Jixian County, 23 minor injuries and 3 serious injuries. Yongping died one person; One person in Dali was slightly injured. Other casualties and damage to houses and infrastructure are being further verified.
The emergency management department quickly deployed emergency rescue and disaster relief, and sent a working group to the earthquake-stricken area in Yunnan.
Earthquake cold knowledge: the place where the earthquake started is called the source, and the ground directly above the source is called the epicenter. The strongest ground motion of destructive earthquake is called polar region, which is often the area where the epicenter is located. Earthquakes often cause serious casualties, fires, floods, toxic gas leakage, the spread of bacteria and radioactive substances, and may also cause secondary disasters such as tsunamis, landslides, collapses and ground fissures.
According to statistics, there are more than 5 million earthquakes on the earth every year, which means tens of thousands of earthquakes occur every day. Most of them are too small or too far away to feel; There are about a dozen or twenty earthquakes that can really cause serious harm to human beings; About one or two earthquakes will cause particularly serious disasters. Different types of seismographs can record earthquakes with different intensities and distances. Thousands of seismic instruments are running around the world, monitoring seismic activities day and night. The current level of science and technology can't predict the coming of earthquakes, so people should improve the seismic grade of buildings and do a good job in defense.
Well, that's all I want to share in this issue.
