Are earthquakes related to Feng Shui?

Earthquakes and Feng Shui have nothing to do with each other! Earthquakes are divided into two categories: natural earthquakes and artificial earthquakes. In addition, earthquakes may also occur under certain special circumstances, such as large meteorites impacting the ground (meteorite impact earthquakes). There are many causes of vibrations on the earth's surface. According to the causes of earthquakes, earthquakes can be divided into the following types:

1. Tectonic earthquakes

Due to the cracking and dislocation of rocks deep underground, The energy accumulated over a long period of time is released rapidly and spreads in all directions in the form of seismic waves. When the ground shakes, it is called a tectonic earthquake. This type of earthquake occurs the most frequently and is the most destructive, accounting for more than 90% of the world's earthquakes.

2. Volcanic earthquakes

Earthquakes caused by volcanism, such as magma activity, gas explosions, etc., are called volcanic earthquakes. Volcanic earthquakes can only occur in volcanic active areas, and these earthquakes only account for about 7% of the world's earthquakes.

3. Collapse earthquakes

Earthquakes caused by the collapse of the top of underground caves or mines are called collapse earthquakes. Such earthquakes are relatively small in scale and infrequent. Even if they occur, they often occur in limestone areas with dense caves or mining areas with large-scale underground mining.

4. Induced earthquakes

Earthquakes caused by activities such as reservoir storage and oil field water injection are called induced earthquakes. This type of earthquake only occurs in certain reservoir areas or oil field areas.

5. Artificial earthquakes

Ground vibrations caused by underground explosions, explosive blasting and other artificial earthquakes are called artificial earthquakes. Artificial earthquakes are earthquakes caused by human activities. For example, vibrations caused by industrial blasting and underground nuclear explosions; high-pressure water injection in deep wells and water storage in large reservoirs increase the pressure on the earth's crust and sometimes induce earthquakes.
