How far is Wenchuan from Yushu, and is there a connection between Yushu and the Wenchuan earthquake

The area of Yushu County is 13462 km

The area of Wenchuan County is 4084 km

Yushu County is equivalent to 3 Wenchuan counties

Wenchuan**. Worse than Yushu **.

As we all know, following Tangshan**, there was another scene on the land of China that made people mourn the great ** - 5.12 Wenchuan **. May 12, 2008 14:28:04[1], Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province.

The incident in Wenchuan County caused 69,227 people killed, 374643 injured, and 17,923 missing. The epicenter is located at north latitude and east longitude, and the geographical location of the epicenter is in Wenchuan County, with a magnitude of 11 degrees on the Richter scale. This is the most destructive since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also the second largest since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The worst ever after the worst. In addition, on April 14, 2010, located in Yushu County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, there was a continuous ** of the highest magnitude, the epicenter of ** was about 33 kilometers underground, the epicenter was located in the north latitude, east longitude, this ** epicenter and Yushu County is close to the geographical location, and the county seat is very close to each other.

There are two major volcanic belts in the world that are more famous, and this is the reason for their formation: the Pacific Rim Volcanic Belt and the Himalayas.

Eastern Mediterranean. The volcanic ** zone, these two volcanic ** zones are located at the junction of the Pacific plate and the American plate, the Eurasian plate, the Indian Ocean plate, and the junction of the Eurasian plate, the Indian Ocean plate, and the African plate. Countries such as Japan, the Malay Archipelago, and the Philippines include the island of Taiwan.

It is located in the Pacific Rim Volcanic Belt, and the southwest of China is in the Himalayas-Mediterranean Volcanic Belt, which is also the reason for the frequent ** in these areas, including Wenchuan in 08 and the Japanese tsunami in 10 years.

Regarding the relationship between ** and Wenchuan ** this time, Sun Shi said that one thing that can be judged is that this ** is also related to the Wenchuan **** belt, and the Wenchuan area is also on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet plate.

The fault zone where Yushu ** occurred this time is the Ganzi-Yushu-Feng Volcano fault zone, which belongs to the southern boundary of the Bayankala Naxiao massif, and Wenchuan** belongs to the southeastern boundary of the Bayankala massif. Since 1900, there has been no record of a 7-level or higher attack within 200 kilometers in this area, but there is a record of a grade**, and the activity in this area is relatively not too active.

Sun Shi, the former chief forecaster of the China ** Bureau, analyzed that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau itself is a large region, this area has many strong activities, and the distribution is relatively scattered. Wenchuan and Yushu** are mainly located in the junction zone of the Eurasian plate and the Indian Ocean plate, and the plate is relatively stable, so that a fault is formed between the plates, and the earth often produces high pressure and high temperature inside the earth, these internal activities will make the plate move, and the crustal activity at the junction of the plate is more active, which is easy to cause the long-term accumulation of energy of crustal tectonic stress, when a fault zone can not withstand the continuous accumulation of in-situ stress, the energy will be released through the violent movement between the plates. As a result, the vigorous movement of the ground from the inside out** is one of the manifestations of the movement.
