Six paleoearthquake events in the past 14,000 years have been recorded along the Zhongwei-Tongxin fault zone.[1] Among the earthquakes recorded are the 1622 North Guyuan earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7.0 and mid-seismogenic depth of about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi),[2] the 1709 Zhongwei earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7.5,[1] and the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake with 7.8.
