FAQ for Earthquake
17. Why do most earthquakes occur in the east of Taiwan?
Eastern Taiwan is located right on the junction between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine Sea plate. Therefore, more earthquakes occur in the east than in other locations in Taiwan. However, because most of them occur in the open sea, disasters are relatively small.
