What kind of earthquake will trigger a tsunami? Tsunami is a phenomenon of increasing water in the ocean, which is caused by many reasons. However, not all undersea earthquakes can form earthquakes and tsunamis. Only those shallow earthquakes with relatively strong intensity can form earthquakes and tsunamis. Under normal circumstances, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 or above is likely to form an earthquake fault, thus inducing a tsunami.
Is there a possibility of a tsunami in Yancheng, Jiangsu? An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, which led some netizens to think that our coastal areas would encounter a tsunami. In fact, there is no clear record of earthquakes and tsunamis on the east coast of China in history or in modern times. Even if the earthquake and tsunami occurred in the Ryukyu Islands and the southeast coast of Japan, it had little or no impact on the eastern coastal areas of China ... It would consume a lot of energy from the source to the epicenter, and the disturbance of the earthquake to the seabed and sea surface would be greatly weakened, so the impact was not great.

If there is an earthquake, we will face the situation of water and electricity cut off, which makes us helpless. In mountainous areas, earthquakes can also lead to landslides and landslides, which often lead to the tragedy of burying villages and towns.
