On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck 18 km (11 mi) south-southwest of Hualien City, Hualien County, Taiwan. There have been several aftershocks above magnitude five.
Tectonic setting
Taiwan has a history of many strong earthquakes.[1] The island is located within a complex zone of convergence between the Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate. At the location of the earthquake, these plates converge at a rate of 75 millimetres (3.0 in) per year. To the south of Taiwan, oceanic crust of the Eurasian Plate is subducting beneath the Philippine Sea Plate creating an island arc, the Luzon Arc. At Taiwan the oceanic crust has all been subducted and the arc is colliding with continental crust of the Eurasian Plate. To the north of Taiwan the Philippine Sea Plate is in contrast subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate, forming the Ryukyu Arc.[2]
Earthquake
The earthquake had a maximum CWB seismic intensity of 6+ in Hualien City and 5 in Taipei.[3] A Mw 6.4 aftershock struck at 00:11 UTC,[4] followed by a Mw 5.7 event at 00:35[5] a Mw 5.5 at 00:43[6] and one measuring Mw 5.7 at 00:46.[7] The mainshock was the strongest earthquake to hit Taiwan since the 1999 Jiji earthquake, which measured Mw 7.7.[8] The shaking was felt in Shanghai and several cities in China's Fujian Province.[9]
The earthquake had a focal mechanism corresponding to reverse-faulting at 34.8 km (21.6 mi) depth. According to the United States Geological survey, the rupture occurred on a northeast-southwest-striking, moderately dipping, reverse fault within the Eurasian Plate. The estimated rupture dimensions for a similarly-sized reverse-faulting earthquake is 60 km (37 mi) by 35 km (22 mi).[10]
Tsunami
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for Okinawa Prefecture and as waves of 3 m (9.8 ft) were expected.[11] A 30 cm (12 in) wave was observed at Yonaguni about 15 minutes after the earthquake. Waves were also expected along the Miyako and Yaeyama islands.[12] Evacuations were ordered for four coastal provinces of the Philippines. An advisory was issued to 23 provinces for "high tsunami waves".[13][9][14]
Impact
In Hualien City, two houses, a nine-story building and a restaurant collapsed, trapping many people inside.[15][16] A high school building in the city also sustained heavy damage.[17] A warehouse building also collapsed in Taipei, causing three minor injuries and leaving one more person awaiting rescue.[18] Tiles were dislodged and fell off older buildings and some newer structures in the capital.[12] Subsidence in Xindian District caused seven houses to collapse, forcing 12 people to evacuate.[19] A viaduct of the New Taipei Circular Line was reported to be misaligned, and all service on the Taipei Metro was briefly suspended for safety checks.[20] In Taichung, rockfalls blocked a road, damaging three cars and injuring a driver.[21] Power outages affected 14,833 households in the city, of which 5,306 were restored within approximately 25 minutes of the earthquake.[22]
A massive landslide occurred near Xiulin.[23] Guishan Island suffered damage, with a large portion of the island collapsing into the ocean.[24]
