Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
The earth quake was caused due to thrusting on longmensham fault. The deformatiobn of the rocks in the region was caused by the collision of the Indian and the eurasian tectonic plates and continued movement of the plates relative to each other. The sichuan area is a very tectonic active are just like the west side of the USA.
the china earthquake obviously happened in china but it happend in a place called Sichuan. Can anyboy else tell me why did the earthquake happen?
Sichuan is a very active tectonic area. The earthquake in Sichuan of May 2008 was caused by the movement along a fault line. The deformation of the crust in this region was caused by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This has created the Himalayas over the years as earthquakes are common in this collision zone. The earthquake was felt in Beijing and Shanghai, over 1500km away.
The epicenter of the Tangshan earthquake is near the Eurasian and North American tectonic plate boundaries. Shifts along this convergent boundary are generally thought to be the cause of the quake.
The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China caused various landforms such as landslides, rockfalls, and large ground ruptures. These landforms altered the landscape by creating new valleys, cliffs, and cracked terrains in the affected region.
