What should I do in case of an earthquake?
1, please hide under solid furniture such as tables.

The shaking time is about 1 min. This is the first thing that should be considered is the personal safety of yourself and your family. First, hide under a solid table with a low center of gravity and hold the legs tightly. In places where there is no table to hide, protect your head with cushions and other things anyway.

Don't panic and run outside.

After the earthquake, running out in a panic, broken glass, roof tiles, billboards, etc. are very dangerous. Fall down and hit you. In addition, cement prefabricated walls and vending machines are also in danger of collapse. Don't go near these objects.

3. Open the door and ensure the exit.

Houses with reinforced concrete structures, etc. Has been locked in the house because of the dislocation of doors and windows caused by earthquake shaking. Please open the door and ensure the exit.

4, outdoor occasions, to protect the head, to avoid dangerous places.

When the earth shakes violently and stands unsteadily, people will have the psychology of leaning over and grasping something. Most of the doorposts and walls around you will be supported. However, these seemingly solid things are actually dangerous. In busy streets and buildings, the most dangerous thing is that things like glass windows and billboards fall and hurt people. Pay attention to protect your head with your hands or handbags.

Expert: Earthquakes in Qinghai and Yunnan are related to Indian plate activity.

Sun Shizhen, a researcher at China Seismological Network Center, said that the earthquakes in these two places were related to the recently active Indian plate. Recently, the activity of Indian plate has increased obviously, which will affect China and make the seismic activity in the western region increase obviously.

According to expert analysis, it is predicted that the casualties of these two earthquakes will not be too serious. The magnitude of the earthquake in Yunnan is moderate, and the ground fissure corresponding to the earthquake of magnitude 6.4 is about 7 to 8 degrees. Because the focal point is shallow, the crack may reach 8 degrees, but it is relatively far from the county seat and other towns and villages.

Qinghai earthquake with magnitude 7.4 is 30 times higher than Yunnan in energy, and its intensity belongs to a big earthquake. However, because it is in a sparsely populated area, the focal depth reaches 17 km. The deeper the depth, the relative rupture of the epicenter will weaken, but the influence range will be larger, and the rupture is expected to reach 9 degrees.
