The China Geological Survey Data Sharing Service Platform is a website operated by the China Geological Survey that provides a wide range of geological data and information resources, including geological maps, reports, and other scientific publications.
The United States Geological Survey noted that the earthquake measured a moment magnitude (M w ) of 7.1, while the China Earthquake Networks Center documented its magnitude at M s 6.8. The shock occurred at 10 km (6.2 mi) depth, indicating it occurred within the continental crust that forms the Tibetan Plateau. [6]
The China Geological Survey (CGS) was founded in 1915. [64] However, it was disbanded after the Chinese Civil War and only reinstated in 1999. During this time geological exploration and natural hazard mitigation was performed by other government departments. [ 65 ]
Beijing has 15 major active fault lines, more than double the previous count, according to a new geological survey commissioned by the government. A third were "strongly active", suggesting a high ...
The China Earthquake Administration recorded the earthquake at 6.2 on the surface-wave magnitude scale. [7] The United States Geological Survey said it measured M ww 5.9 and struck at a depth of 10 km (6.2 mi). [2] The epicenter was estimated to be in Liugou Township, about 8 kilometers from the county seat of Jishishan. [8]
The China Earthquake Networks Center gave the earthquake a magnitude of M s 7.1, [3] while the United States Geological Survey said the earthquake measured M ww 7.0. [2] It struck at 02:09 CST (18:09 UTC) [4] at a depth of 13 kilometers (8.1 miles). [2] The epicenter was located in a mountainous area with an average altitude of about 3,048 ...
China once again bore the brunt of the deadly events. The largest magnitude event was a 7.8 in January in China. Activity was fairly scattered across the planet with China, Dutch East Indies, Mexico, South America, the southern Pacific Ocean islands and Alaska seeing large (7.0+ magnitude) events.
China produced nearly 50% of global antimony supplies estimated at 83,000 tons last year, according to data from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Traders said China's bans are in line with a ...
