Wenchuan: It shortened the distance between the two plots, and it was abruptly squeezed out, probably pushing several meters to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Seventeen, the speed of movement
Yushu: Fault sliding is much faster than Wenchuan.
Wenchuan: Faults move slowly and energy accumulates slowly. Wenchuan earthquake occurs once every thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Eighteen, plates
Yushu: Ganzi-Yushu-Fenghuoshan fault zone belongs to the southern boundary of Bayankala block.
Wenchuan: Located in the north-south seismic belt, it is the dividing line between Sichuan Basin and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Longmenshan fault zone, and belongs to the southeast boundary of Bayan Kara block.
19. Foreshock
Yushu: There was a foreshock. An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 occurred before the earthquake.
