The estimated magnitude for this earthquake is about 6.8 M s . The earthquake is thought to have ruptured the Sanmenxia-lingbao Fault, with a normal fault mechanism. An analysis of the evolution of stresses following the 1303 earthquake at Hongdong, suggest that most of the earthquakes in the rift system can be explained by progressive coulomb stress transfer, although the main earthquake to ...

Baikal is both the deepest lake in the world and, with 20% of all of the liquid freshwater on earth, has the greatest volume. [4] Lake Tanganyika, second by both measures, is in the Albertine Rift, the westernmost arm of the active East African Rift.
