An Earthquake Bombarded Asia , Manila , Japan , China this three asian country was bombarded by an earthquake today. An earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale rocked the East China Sea, at 10:59 pm Beijing time on Tuesday (8 / 11). Similarly, reported China Earthquake Network Center (Cenc).
The epicenter is known to have a depth of 220 kilometers was recorded at 27.7 degrees north latitude and 125.9 degrees east latitude. The earthquake was located about 270 kilometers of the Diaoyu Islands, 480 kilometers from Taipei, and 520 kilometers from the city of Wenzhou in eastern Zhejiang Province.
TOKYO, An earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale (SR) shook the waters of Okinawa Island, Japan, Tuesday (08/11/2011). However, there is no concern about the tsunami, the agency said the U.S. and Japan. The quake occurred in the East China Sea, 218 kilometers west of Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Earthquake sources exist at a depth of 222 kilometers.
There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage caused by the earthquake which occurred at 11:59 local time. Japan, located at the junction of four tectonic plates, has 20 percent of the strongest earthquakes recorded in the earth every year. The tsunami disaster on March 11 resulted in about 22,000 people dead or missing, and triggered a crisis in the nuclear power plant in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power, in the northeast of the country.
MANILA - The earthquake that struck the southern Philippine city wounded at least 10 people and destroyed 25 homes and shops, said the rescue team, today. An earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale struck the small town of Valencia on Mindanao island on Monday and menghancurksn 23 homes, a hardware store and a grocery store in this town of 150,000 people, the local civil defense office said.
The victims were due to hit objects and debris that fell when the earthquake occurred at 17:43 local time (16:43 GMT), but none were seriously injured, said a civil defense official. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was magnitude 5.0 on the Richter scale while the Filipino seismologists said the quake was magnitude 5.2 on the Richter scale.
Winchell Sevilla, a seismologist at the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in Manila, said the quake was caused by a local movement of about one kilometer below the earth's surface. "The movement is very shallow and even 5.2 on the Richter scale of energy released can cause damage stout," he told AFP.
Sevilla said the quake was felt in other areas on the island of Mindanao, although there were no immediate reports-lapora more about the damage. Philippines is located in the "Network Earthquake" Pacific - a network around the Pacific Ocean yag characterized by active volcanoes and long trenches on the ocean floor tectonics, in which frequent eruptions and earthquakes.
