he explained to me why taiwan is prone to earthquakes.es collide — several plates have formed several subduction zones, and taiwan is basically filled with earthquake faults that shift. it had bigger earthquakes than this. but this was a very serious earthquake. john, help us put this things into perspective then. this earthquake and the one that hit turkey last year are in the same category in terms of magnitude, but the death and damage caused is significantly different. what do you put that down to? well, first, this earthquake was fairly deep. it seems to have been 30 or a0 kilometres below the surface. so that lets the energy spread out before it hits the top. the earthquake in 1999 here was much shallower and also bigger, and it caused a lot more damage and death. but also being so deep, it didn't generate the kind of tsunami waves that people are worried about. so really, it's big, but not the earthquake people most fear in a place like taiwan. and taiwan has early warning systems in place to prevent injury. could you explain how t
