May 12, 2008
The 2008 Sichuan earthquake occurred along a convergent boundary, specifically at the intersection of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic interaction involves the subduction of the Indian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate, leading to significant stress accumulation and eventual release, which caused the earthquake. The region is known for its complex geology and seismic activity due to these tectonic processes.

A big quake on the ricter scale should be more than 8.2 to trigger a tsunami.
The quake's magnitude, depth, location, and impact determine how it compares with other quakes. It's important to consider factors like infrastructure resilience and population density in affected areas to understand the true impact of a quake relative to others. Each quake is unique, and experts use various measures to evaluate and compare their significance.
The Eastern Sichuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, resulted in about 375,000 people being injured. The quake, which measured 7.9 on the Richter scale, caused widespread devastation in the region.
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.
No, the 2008 Sichuan earthquake is not still active. It occurred on May 12, 2008, causing significant damage and loss of life, but seismic activity is not ongoing from that event.

it was not grenn day in japan during the quake
The 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China was caused by the sudden movement along a thrust fault due to the Indian Plate pushing against the Eurasian Plate. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.9, resulting in widespread devastation and loss of life.
Yes. China had one earthquake at 2008. Nearly 400 people died and injured.AdditionallyThe May 2008 earthquake in Eastern Sichuan, China was magnitude 7.9 and the recorded deaths and injuries were far more than 400.There was also a magnitude 6.9 quake in Southern Qinghai, China on April 13, 2010.
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 2008 earthquake in China is known as the Wenchuan earthquake. It occurred on May 12, 2008, with a magnitude of 7.9.
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.
Sichuan FC was created in 2006.
