2月6日,小年夜,台湾高雄凌晨3点左右发生里氏6.7级地震,震源深度15公里,台南多地建筑倒塌,福建、广东等邻近地区震感强烈。此次地震释放的能量相当于2颗原子弹,遇难人数过百人,让新春佳节蒙上了阴影。台湾地震频发,正因它位于环太平洋地震带上,那里自古以来就是中国地震的多发区。 On February 6, a small magnitude 6.7 earthquake hit Kaohsiung at about 3am, with a focal depth of 15 kilometers. Many buildings in Tainan collapsed, and neighboring areas such as Fujian and Guangdong were strongly felt. The energy released by the quake was equivalent to two atomic bombs, killing over 100 people and casting a shadow over the Spring Festival. The frequent earthquakes in Taiwan are due to its location on the Pacific Rim, an area frequented by China’s earthquake since ancient times.
