Hazards and Their Effects of Earthquakes with MS 6.0 and Above Since 2010 in Qinghai Province
In the past decade,strong earthquakes in mainland China have mainly developed around the boundary of the Tibetan Plat-eau,including Wenchuan 8.1 earthquake in 2008,Yushu 7.1 earthquake in 2010,Maduo 7.4 earthquake in 2021,Menyuan 6.9 earth-quake in 2022,etc.Qinghai province is located in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau,with complex block structure and strong deformation.Since 2010,a total of 8 earthquakes with magnitude 6.0 or above occurred,accounting for about 22%of the earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above in mainland China.In this paper,we collected the earthquake data from field investigation,as well as from the Ministry of Emergency Management,the China Earthquake Networks Center,the United States Geological Survey and other different information sources,summarized the earthquake hazards of earthquakes with magnitude 6.0 or above since 2010 in Qinghai region,and analyzed the characteristics of major earthquake damage and seismic fortification to provide relevant suggestions for seismic disaster prevention in Qinghai in the future.
