Earthquakes continue to make people panic. A strong earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale occurred at 2:21 a.m. on the 27th. The national alarm sounded loudly, waking up many people from their sleep. There were many aftershocks later. Some villagers posted a global earthquake frequency map on PTT. Taiwan was superimposed into “Taipei 101” and asked, “Is this normal?”

A netizen posted on PTT, “The frequency of earthquakes in Taiwan seems to be unusually high. It has been almost a month since 0403. As a result, there are still aftershocks of magnitude 5 and 6 on the Richter scale until now. It’s so scary. Look at the world. Other countries are not like Taiwan.”

A netizen posted a global earthquake frequency map, including North and South America, Europe, and Africa. Only in Asia, the area where the number of earthquakes in Taiwan is superimposed has exceeded the “Breaking Sky” page. The villagers were frightened when they saw the photo, “We have brought all the punishment from the world to us”, “The earthquake is helping you to learn 101”, “The world cannot keep up with Taiwan”, “The scariest place in the Pacific”, “It will always be like this after a major earthquake, because there are many aftershocks.” “It can only be said that energy is released normally.”

Pu Xinjie, a researcher at the Earthquake Forecasting Center of the Central Meteorological Administration, said on the 27th that like the 921 earthquake, aftershocks of large scale will take a longer time. At that time, within one week after the 921 earthquake, there were about 10 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above. of seismic activity.

Netizens are curious, is the recent frequency of earthquakes in Taiwan normal? Pu Xinjie said that compared with the 921 earthquake, the aftershocks after the Hualien 0403 earthquake were not too abnormal. It is estimated that aftershocks may still occur and last for at least 3 to 6 months.
