Xingtai earthquake, Hebei province (1March 8-29, 966, several earthquakes of magnitude 6 and 7).

The first earthquake occurred in the east of Longyao County in Xingtai area, with a magnitude of 6.8. Since then, five earthquakes of magnitude 6 have occurred, with magnitude 7.2 occurring in the southeast of Ningjin County on the 22nd as the largest. Due to the loose soil, high groundwater level and ancient rivers in the disaster area, the earthquake caused serious damage and extensive losses. The 6.8 earthquake affected 142 counties and cities, and the 7.2 earthquake damaged 136 counties and cities. It feels like Duolun in Inner Mongolia in the north, Yantai in the east, Nanjing in the south and Tongchuan in the west. The earthquake * * * killed 8 182 people, injured 5 1395 people, damaged more than 4 million houses and damaged 86 bridges. There were * * accidents and fires 1 15 in the disaster area, with 16 people killed, 26 people burned and simple houses 153 rooms burned. There are more than 300 landslides in the western mountainous areas of Xingtai, Jingxing and Wu 'an, and 22 fires caused by landslides and flying stones burned 80 hectares of mountains. Ground fissures, sand erosion and water erosion are common, extending intermittently from tens of meters to several kilometers. The maximum width of the ground fissure is 2m. It is common for wells to rise or overflow. Several bridges on the Fuyang River were seriously damaged. The deck of Aixinzhuang Bridge moved southward, with a distance of 0/.8 meters from pier/kloc-0, which caused traffic disruption. The earthquake affected a wide area. A generator trip occurred in Hezhuo County, Tianjin, causing a short power outage. The western part of Shijiazhuang and Xiyang, Shanxi Province were also damaged to a higher degree. The State Council attached great importance to Xingtai earthquake, and sent local troops to the disaster area for rescue. All parts of the country vigorously supported the disaster areas and sent medical teams to support a large number of food and relief materials. On March 9, Premier Zhou Enlai braved the danger of the earthquake and listened to the disaster report and relief situation in Longyao County, the earthquake-stricken area, and expressed condolences to the people in the disaster area. After the earthquake, 94 medical teams were stationed in the disaster area, with 7 1 15 medical personnel.

The Daguan earthquake in Yunnan (May 1974, 1 1, an earthquake of magnitude 7. 1 occurred in Daguan).

The earthquake was felt strongly in most parts of Sichuan Basin. The sensing area is about 400,000 square kilometers. The earthquake caused 1423 deaths and 1600 injuries. More than 66,000 houses were damaged, of which more than 28,000 collapsed, and the damaged area of houses was about 2,300 square kilometers. In the earthquake zone, the wooden frame of the wooden house was not damaged, but most of the earth walls and stone walls collapsed, and most of the earth beam houses and Mao Liang Shi houses collapsed or were leveled. The earthquake also caused landslides and ground fissures on the hillside, destroying roads, farmland, canals and buried farmhouses. The largest landslide front rushed to the other side of the river, forming a dam about 30 meters high, blocking water and forming a lake.

Haicheng earthquake in Liaoning province (1975 Haicheng earthquake of magnitude 7.3 on February 4th)

The earthquake zone covers an area of 760 square kilometers. The earthquake occurred in densely populated and industrially developed areas, and it was the largest earthquake in the history of this area. Due to the earthquake prediction of China Earthquake Department, the local government took effective earthquake prevention measures in time, which greatly reduced the earthquake disaster. Except for buildings and other engineering structures, most people evacuated their houses during the earthquake, and casualties were greatly reduced. The total number of casualties was 29,579, accounting for 0.32% of the total population, including 204 1 person, accounting for 0.02% of the total population. Most of the casualties are old, weak, sick and disabled children and people who don't listen to instructions. The earthquake caused about 5 million square meters of urban houses to collapse, 6,543,800 square meters of public facilities to be damaged, 6,543,800 square meters of rural houses to be damaged, 2,937 urban and rural transportation and water conservancy facilities to be damaged, and all kinds of equipment and materials suffered serious losses, totaling about 8,654,380+million yuan. The diameter of the ground sand blasting hole is 2.5 meters. There is an earthquake fault with a length of about 5.5 kilometers and a crack width of 40 meters. The damaged area of Yingkou accounts for 53. 1% of the total area of the city. After the earthquake, disaster relief work was carried out in time. The People's Liberation Army dispatched more than 35,000 people,165,438+073 vehicles and 12 aircraft to participate in the disaster relief. The number of medical teams sent to the disaster area reached 10 1, with 3480 personnel. Water supply repair two days after the earthquake; In February and July, all the disaster areas resumed power supply. The victims spent the Spring Festival in a "three-proof" simple room. A month later, transportation and industrial and agricultural production basically resumed. The success of Haicheng earthquake prediction has achieved great social and economic benefits. It is speculated that if there is no forecast, the casualties will reach about 65.438+0.5 million, and the economic loss will exceed 5 billion yuan.

Yunnan Longling earthquake (1On May 29th, 976, there were two strong earthquakes in Longling County, western Yunnan).

The first time occurred at 20: 23: 18 seconds with a magnitude of 7.3, and the second time occurred at 22: 00: 23 seconds with a magnitude of 7.4.
