Wenchuan Earthquake 汶川大地震
A major earthquake measuring 7.9 Richter Scale jolted Wenchuan County of Southwest China's Sichuan province at 2:28 pm on Monday. Since then the death toll has been soaring, with over 28,000 people fallen victim up to Saturday. Let's pray for all the sufferings in this catastrophe.
On Monday, an earthquake in China measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale occurred a long a fault where South Asia pushes against the Eurasian land mass, smashing the Sichuan Plain into mountains late into the Tibetan highlands. In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake shook San Francisco and Monerate Bay regions. This major earthquake caused dozens of deaths, thousands of injuries and an estimated 6 billion dollars in property damage. It was the largest earthquake to occur on the San Andreas fault, since the great San Francisco earthquake in April 1906. The Loma Prieta quake was similar to Tuesday’s earthquake in China in depth, but its magnitude was just 7.1 on the Richter scale, compared to the Sichuan quake at 7.9. Seismology experts in Japan also compared the earthquake to the Kobe quake of 1995 in Japan, in which more than 5,000 were killed. “Because earthquake occurred in shale that is about 10 kilometers, about, beneath the ground, so the damage is usually very strong, devastating. If you remember the Kobe earthquake in 1995, this in a sense a similar type because earthquake shale right beneath the land and population area.” The professor also warned that aftershocks could cause further Damage in the region of the quake. US GS-seismologists warned that aftershocks from this earthquake could be felt up to 60 miles from the epicenter and could last for months.
