Volcanoes of Κίνα (39)

China has a few active volcanoes, which are all related to intra-plate mantle plumes and located far from tectonic plate boundaries.
There are many historical earthquake reports from China, the earliest dating back to 23 BC, but only very few about volcanic eruptions.
One of the world's largest eruptions during the past 10,000 years took place at Baitoushan volcano on the China/Korea border in the 11th century AD. The most recent eruption in China was from the Kunlun volcano in 1951.

Remark:
Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.

Σημαντικοί σεισμοί στη Κίνα από το 1900


Ο πιο θανατηφόρος σεισμός στη Κίνα από το 1900 ήταν the magnitude 7.5 earthquake στη  Κίνα, Hebei on Ιουλ, 27, 1976. Είχε ως αποτέλεσμα 242,769 θανάτους και ###DEADLIEST-JURED### τραυματίες. Αυτός ήταν ο 5. πιο φονικός σεισμός που είναι γνωστός στην ιστορία και ο 2. πιο καταστροφικός σεισμός στη Κίνα που έχει καταγραφεί ποτέ.
Οι περισσότερες ζημιές από τον σεισμό προήλθαν από το τσουνάμι που ακολούθησε τον σεισμό. Αυτός ήταν ο 15. πιο φονικός σεισμός που είναι γνωστός στην ιστορία και ο 5. πιο καταστροφικός σεισμός στη Κίνα που έχει καταγραφεί ποτέ. 5,360,000 σπίτια και άλλα κτίρια καταστράφηκαν και 5,360,000 υπέστησαν ζημιές.
