A magnitude-5.5 earthquake shook Maduo County in northwest China's Qinghai Province early Wednesday, with tremors felt across the region 🌏. The quake occurred at a depth of 14 kilometers, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC).
While no immediate casualties or major damage reports have emerged, the area is known for seismic activity. In 2021, a stronger 7.4-magnitude quake struck the same county, highlighting Qinghai’s position along active fault lines 🏔️.
Local authorities are assessing the situation, and residents have been advised to stay alert for aftershocks. As one of China’s most sparsely populated provinces, Qinghai’s quakes often serve as reminders of Earth’s dynamic geology—no Netflix drama can match this real-life tectonic drama! 🔍📡
