How to check the earthquake
The earthquake query method is as follows:

Tools: computer ASUS A456u, win 10 system, Baidu _13.34.0.11.

1, open Baidu search "China Seismological Network" and click to enter official website.

2. In the map display of the webpage, you can move or zoom the map by dragging the mouse and the pulley, or click the button on the left side of the map to zoom.

Little red dot flashing on the map is the place where the recent earthquake happened. You can click on little red dot to check the information.

4. You can also slide the webpage. There are more details below.

Disaster losses caused by the earthquake.

Ground vibration is the most intuitive and common manifestation of earthquakes. Strong earthquakes at the bottom of the sea or in coastal areas will cause huge waves, which is called tsunami. Strong earthquakes in Chinese mainland will cause secondary disasters such as landslides, collapses and ground fissures.

Destructive earthquakes usually occur in shallow earthquakes. Earthquakes of the same size have different damage degrees to the ground due to different focal depths. The shallower the source, the greater the damage, but the smaller the spread, and vice versa. Destructive earthquakes, such as 1976 Tangshan earthquake, have a focal depth of 12km.

Earthquakes can be measured by seismographs. The magnitude of the earthquake is used to represent the energy released by the source, which is represented by "Richter scale earthquake" and the intensity is represented by "modified Macquarie earthquake intensity scale". The energy released by the earthquake determines the magnitude of the earthquake. The greater the energy released, the greater the magnitude. Earthquakes differ by one level, and the energy difference is about 30 times. The magnitude difference is 0. 1, and the average released energy difference is 1.4 times.
