LHASA, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- On the morning of Jan. 7, just 10 minutes after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in Xizang Autonomous Region, southwest China, drones were already surveying the site of the epicenter. Less than 30 minutes after the disaster, the boots of the fir...
Because of the large range of this shock, low intensity, slow attenuation and no extreme-earthquake area, its epicenter and focus could not be determined onthe scientific-technological conditions at that time. In the Seismological Catalogue of China (GU, 1983) published in 1983, its epicenter ...
definitions Earthquake = Vibration of the Earth produced by the rapid release of energy Seismic waves = Energy moving outward from the focus of an earthquake Focus= location of initial slip on the fault; where the earthquake origins Epicenter= spot on Earth’s surface directly above the focus Se...

地震波发源的地方,叫做震源(focus)。震源在地面上的垂直投影(vertical projection),即地面上离震源最近的一点称为震中(epicenter)。它是接受振动最早的部位。震中到震源的深度叫做震源深度(hypocentral depth)。通常将震源深度小于60公里的叫浅源地震(shallow-focus earthquake),深度在60公里至300公里的叫中源地震(interm...
But the damage and limited number of deaths from Wednesday’s quake is far lower. Everyday life for those in Taipei had generally returned to normal on Thursday but residents closer to the epicenter face a lengthy clean up. As of Thursday afternoon, more than 40 tremors of magnitude 4 or...
