The 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Sichuan on Saturday occurred on the same Longmenshan fault as the 8.0-magnitude earthquake in 2008. That has deepened geologists' concerns that seismic ...

"After the 2008 magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake along the Longmenshan fault zone in western Sichuan of China, researchers in China and elsewhere have paid particular attention to this region ...

A number of major earthquakes have taken place along one tectonic boundary in particular – the Longmenshan Fault – which runs through Sichuan’s mountains. That’s where the 2008 Sichuan ...

Triggered by the collision of the Eurasian and Indian-Australian tectonic plates along the Longmenshan Fault, the quake had its epicenter in mountains 50 miles outside the Sichuan capital ...
