China is on top of two massive tectonic plates, whenever the plates make even a slight movement there is an earthquake, whereas if the plates move where they are beneath rivers/seas, a tsunami happens.
The most recent earthquake to strike in China was a 6.9 magnitude quake on April 13, 2010 in the Qinghai Province near Tibet.
The Sichuan earthquake occurred in May 2008 and killed 68,000 people.
there are many earthquakes in China because China is near the sea and also by the sea is a massive plate called the tectonic plate. the tectonic plate can split into 3 different ways and those ways make lots of earthquakes. there is the destructive plate (plates that move away from each-other), constructive plate (plates that move towards each-other-makes mountains) and transform plate (slide past each-other) they all make the ground(earth) move and shake.
Each year china face more number of earthquakes. On an average there is about 5 earthquakes a week in china.
China's terrain isn't good for earthquakes so it only happens once very big in few hundred years.
