What happened happened at about 2 o'clock this afternoon. An earthquake of magnitude 8. 1 occurred in the waters south of Alaska in the United States, that is, 55 degrees north latitude and about 58 degrees west longitude. Moreover, the earthquake was very strong and the focal depth was expected to reach about 10km.
Maybe you are not familiar with Alaska. Alaska means the last wilderness in English, which means that this place is really poor and prone to volcanic eruptions. Not only that, this place is cold all the year round and the traffic is very inconvenient. Part of Alaska is on the equatorial belt, so there are many earthquakes.
Of course, if Alaska is mentioned, Bian Xiao will definitely mention a topic that everyone is interested in, that is, Alaska, a place with poor time conditions, does have the only heavily guarded heavy prison in the United States. Speaking of which, do you feel that American blockbusters have suddenly come?
This earthquake in Alaska will also trigger a tsunami. Immediately after the earthquake warning was issued, the Tsunami Warning Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources judged that the earthquake might be near the source according to the parameters of the earthquake, which might produce a large-scale tsunami. Of course, we are most concerned about the impact on China. At present, it will not cause harmful effects on China's coastal areas. So don't worry too much. In addition, there were two strange earthquakes in Alaska last year. Among them, in 19, an earthquake reached 9.4, which was one of the highest earthquakes in the world. It can be said that Alaskans are also miserable, living in earthquakes every day.
What should the science car do when it encounters an earthquake? Although Bian Xiao has never been hit by an earthquake since childhood, earthquake drills in schools are also indispensable. In case of an earthquake, try to run to an empty place, and don't go to some places where there are many tall buildings. However, if you can't run out, you must find a better support point on the floor and put your head on the table with your hands to resist your body. Moreover, if you can escape, don't choose the elevator and try to take the escalator, because the elevator is still very dangerous at this time.
