The earthquake occurred as a result of shallow (10 km depth) strike-slip faulting at the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. It ruptured a fault located near the Qilian Mountains. The geological structure responsible was the Lenglongling Fault, a segment of the Haiyuan Fault System. The rupture was mostly confined to 0–8 km within the upper crust.

An earthquake occurred in China on 14 November 2001 at 09:26 UTC (17:26 local time), with an epicenter near Kokoxili, close to the border between Qinghai and Xinjiang in a remote mountainous region. With a magnitude of 7.8 M w (8.0 M s ), it was the most powerful earthquake in China for 5 decades. [ 2 ]
The 2021 Maduo earthquake, also known as the 5.22 earthquake struck Madoi County in Qinghai Province, China, on 22 May at 02:04 local time. [8] The earthquake had a moment magnitude and surface-wave magnitude of 7.4.
The earthquake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles) in Gansu’s Jishishan county, about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the provincial boundary with Qinghai, the China ...
One of China's most powerful earthquakes in recent years killed at least 149 people in a remote northwestern region, according to state media, with two people still missing after the magnitude 6.2 ...
Qinghai lies within the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, which is a result of the ongoing collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This huge area of thickened crust is spreading eastwards. The plateau is divided into several blocks bounded by large WNW-ESE trending left lateral strike-slip fault zones.
The China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC; Chinese: 中国地震台网中心; pinyin: Zhōngguó dìzhèn tái wǎng zhōngxīn) is an institution under the China Earthquake Administration. [1] Established on October 18, 2004, it is one of the most important hubs of China 's earthquake disaster reduction network and the basis of information ...
