History of Xinjiang earthquake
Xinjiang, where a 6.4-magnitude earthquake occurred, is also in the earthquake zone? Xinjiang is a beautiful place. There is a paragraph in the primary school textbook that is still fresh in my memory. My childhood memories are particularly clear, and my yearning for Xinjiang has always been in my heart. However, the most news I have seen in Xinjiang during this period is the Xinjiang earthquake. Why are there so many earthquakes in Xinjiang? To this end, friends will definitely have questions in their hearts. Is Xinjiang in the earthquake zone? What is certain is that Xinjiang, which is prone to earthquakes, is indeed in the earthquake zone.

Some areas in China are plagued by earthquakes all the year round, and Xinjiang belongs to the high-incidence area of earthquakes in China. According to the statistical data of earthquake frequency, it is said that there are more than 100 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above in Xinjiang, and more than 10 earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above. The earthquake of magnitude 8 also has related records. On average, we can know that earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above occur every year in Xinjiang.

Friends all know that earthquakes are caused by the mutual extrusion of continental plates, and our country is at the forefront of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, so as many as five earthquake zones have gradually formed in Xinjiang. Although earthquakes occur as long as they are in the earthquake zone, and some areas are relatively low, it is a pity that Xinjiang is in the active zone.

China is a country with frequent earthquakes. As citizens of this country, each of us should know how to save ourselves and escape when the earthquake comes, because when the earthquake happens, we have no way to control our environment. We must accurately predict the time and place of the earthquake and its difficulties. So when the earthquake happened, each of us lived in a different environment, indoors and outdoors, and so on. Therefore, learning to save yourself is the only way for everyone to save themselves in different environments.

If there is an earthquake, friends must run to outdoor open places, such as squares, school playgrounds and wide roads. Friends who live upstairs should remember not to jump off a building directly, which is tantamount to direct death. If they can't get outdoors for the first time, they should crouch under the podium or in the corner around the classroom, because houses are generally load-bearing structures, and the risk of collapse is small. Other collapsed objects are due to the load-bearing wall.

During the earthquake, outdoor is not a really safe place, so don't go near trees, tall buildings and rocks, and be sure to stay in an open place, because trees, tall buildings and rocks will collapse and landslide under the earthquake, endangering the lives of our friends. Earthquake is a real natural disaster that human beings cannot resist. Only when we treat disasters correctly, learn to protect ourselves and save ourselves, can we survive in disasters.

You must keep calm at all times, otherwise you can't think independently, which will lead to misjudgment and delay self-help. Xinjiang is a beautiful place, and it is also a place with frequent earthquake disasters. I only hope that Xinjiang can get rid of the impact of the earthquake and return to normal life as soon as possible.
