The earthquake with the largest number of victims in history occurred in Shaanxi, and I hope that there will be no earthquake in the world

Earthquakes, the most terrible natural disasters, the earthquake with the largest number of victims in the history of the world occurred in Shaanxi.

Natural disasters, there are many kinds, earthquakes are recognized as the most serious and terrible natural disasters. Earthquakes can cause natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, mudslides, and so on.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was triggered by a major indian oceanbed earthquake, the epicenter of the earthquake was located on the seabed north of Sumatra, Indonesia, and the earthquake magnitude was 9.3 on the Richter scale, which was the second largest earthquake in the history of the world. The Indian Ocean tsunami caused enormous casualties, killing nearly 300,000 people and inflicting heavy losses.

The first major earthquake in the history of the world was the magnitude 9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960, which and the tsunami triggered by the earthquake killed tens of thousands of people. The tsunami caused by the earthquake even killed many people in Japan tens of thousands of kilometers away. The intensity of the earthquake can be seen.

The great earthquake in China, the Wenchuan earthquake thirteen years ago, still makes us sad and weep.

On May 12, 2008, a huge earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, with a magnitude of 8.0 and an earthquake intensity of 11 degrees, causing tens of thousands of people to be killed or missing. The Wenchuan earthquake is another major earthquake that occurred in New China after the Tangshan earthquake and caused particularly huge casualties.

Forty-five years ago, in 1976, a major earthquake occurred in Tangshan, Hebei Province, measuring 7.8 and killing 280,000 people.

Whether it is the Wenchuan earthquake or the Tangshan earthquake, the earthquake relief work is great, and a great spirit of earthquake relief has been born.

The spirit of earthquake relief can be summed up in twenty-four words: unity of purpose, unity of purpose, fearless of hardships and dangers, perseverance, people-oriented, and respect for science. Unity of purpose and unity of purpose embody the powerful force of unity and progress of the Chinese people; fearlessness and indomitability embody the heroic spirit of Chinese People Taishan not bending down; people-oriented and respectful of science embody a high degree of care for the people and a high degree of respect for science.

Since 2009, May 12 has been designated as the National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day.

In Chinese history, there have been three earthquakes that have caused particularly heavy casualties, namely the Hongdong earthquake in Shanxi, the Haiyuan earthquake in Ningxia and the Huazhou earthquake in Shaanxi.

In 1303, the Shanxi Hongdong earthquake, with a scale of 8.0, hit The Hongdong in Shanxi, killing 200,000 people. According to the "Monument to the Great Emperor Temple", "The Hedong earthquake killed more than 200,000 people, and the survivors of the house were 34 out of 10." ”

In 1920, the Ningxia Haiyuan Earthquake, with a scale of 8.5, killed 280,000 people. This was a major earthquake during the Republic of China, and the damage was particularly huge.

The earthquake with the largest number of victims in China's history occurred in Shaanxi, which is also the largest number of earthquakes in the history of the world.

Four hundred and sixty-five years ago, in 1556 AD, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a major earthquake occurred in Huazhou, Shaanxi Province, reaching a magnitude of 8.0 and killing 830,000 people.

The Great Earthquake in Huazhou, Shaanxi Province, became the earthquake with the largest number of deaths and injuries in the history of the world, which is heartbreaking. The Ming Shi Sejong Benji records: "Eighty-three thousand are strange. ”

Qin Keda, a Ming Dynasty official who had personally experienced the earthquake in Huaxian County, wrote in the "Earthquake Chronicle": "The number of victims of the disaster, the deceased of Tong and Pu, the deceased of Tong and Hua, the deceased of Tong and Hua, the deceased of Weinan, Shi V, the deceased of Lintong, The shi 4, the deceased of the provincial city, and other prefectures and counties." Then peel off the near and far and shallow with the place of the earth."

According to the research of seismologists, the time of the Great Huazhou Earthquake occurred between 22:00 on the night of January 23, 1556 and 2:00 a.m. on the 24th, and the epicenter was 34.5% north latitude. 5 degrees, longitude 109. 7 degrees, the magnitude is set at 8, the source depth is 20-40 kilometers below the surface, and the seismic intensity in the polar earthquake area is 11 degrees, which is basically equivalent to the Wenchuan earthquake.

Our country is an earthquake-prone area. China's seismic belts are mainly distributed in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province, Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Taiwan Province, Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, Beijing Municipality, Tianjin Municipality, Liaoning Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province.

Earthquakes, the most terrible natural disasters, may the world never again be earthquakes.
