Tangshan earthquake of 1976, earthquake on July 28, 1976, with a magnitude of 7.5, which nearly razed the Chinese coal-mining and industrial city of Tangshan, located about 68 miles (110 km) east of Beijing.

2020年5月25日 · At 3:46 am the third most deadliest earthquake in recorded history occurred resulting in the deaths of over 240,000 people destroying over 80% of buildings in the city. two main earthquake events were recorded with multiple aftershocks occurring subsequently. Figure 1. Map showing the epicentre location of the Tangshan earthquake.

The 1976 Tangshan earthquake (Chinese: 唐山大地震; pinyin: Tángshān dà dìzhèn; lit. 'Great Tangshan earthquake [b] ') was a Mw 7.6 earthquake that hit the region around Tangshan, Hebei, China, at 3:42 a.m. on 28 July 1976. The maximum intensity of the earthquake was XI (Extreme) on the Mercalli scale.

2024年6月11日 · On this day, Tangshan, which was destroyed by an earthquake lasting just over ten seconds, was covered with lime dust and wailing. Approximately two hundred and forty thousand people died and about one hundred sixty thousand people were injured. The earthquake also reached 96.01 miles to the capital city, Beijing.

At 3:42 on July 28, 1976, a strong earthquake of magnitude Ms7.8 with a focal depth of 12 km and an epicentral intensity of XI degrees occurred in the Tangshan area of Hebei Province. The earthquake caused severe casualties and property losses and the most serious damage in Tangshan, but it also spread to Beijing and Tianjin.

Tangshan earthquake of 1976 Map depicting the intensity of shaking experienced during the Tangshan earthquake of July 28, 1976. On July 28, 1976, the city was devastated by a giant earthquake. Strong aftershocks continued for days. The quake leveled almost every building and flooded the mines.

Investigating the 1976 M7.8 Tangshan Earthquake can provide insight into the mechanisms that drive earthquakes and aid mitigation efforts in vulnerable regions. In this study, I compare data from seismic modelling as well as recorded accounts. Earthquakes include a variety of hazards including liquefaction, landslides, and ground shaking.
