The troubled 30 degree north latitude
Speaking of the 30 degree north latitude, I have to sigh: It’s difficult. The 30-degree north latitude area has always been an area with a high incidence of earthquakes and volcanoes, and it is also a zone where shipwrecks and air crashes frequently occur. On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake shook the hearts of all Chinese people, and its epicenter was located near 30 degrees north latitude (30.3 degrees). Two years later, the Yushu magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred at 33.2 degrees north latitude, which is still near 30 degrees north latitude. After that, earthquakes with magnitude 6.0 occurred in the 30th north latitude zone, including Gansu, Yunnan, Sichuan and other provinces. Frequent volcanic earthquakes have occurred, but they all point to a spearhead, that is, this thirty degrees north latitude.
