Is xiong'an new area an earthquake-prone area?

The planning scope of xiong'an new area includes Xiongxian, Rongcheng, Anxin and some surrounding areas.

According to Xinhua News Agency, xiong'an new area is almost centered on Baiyangdian, including Xiongxian, Rongcheng, Anxin and some surrounding areas. The first reaction of the earthquake is how the geological structure and seismic activity in this area are, and is it an earthquake-prone area? After all, the establishment of this new district is a "Millennium plan, a national event".

According to historical data, the seismic activity in North China is very active in history. There have been many major earthquakes here, including three earthquakes of magnitude 8 or above, namely 1668 Tancheng M8.5 earthquake in Shandong, 1679 Sanhe M8 earthquake in Hebei and 1695 Linfen M8 earthquake in Shanxi. After the founding of New China, especially in the ten years from 1966 to 1976, there were many destructive earthquakes around the capital circle, such as 1966 Xingtai earthquake with magnitude 7.2, 1967 Hejian earthquake with magnitude 6.3, and 65439 Bohai earthquake with magnitude 7.4.

In fact, xiong'an new area is a very quiet area in North China, where there are not many records of seismic activities, especially destructive earthquakes.

According to the historical catalogue data of earthquakes in China, only 3.0 earthquakes 1 time have occurred in recent five years if the data around Baiyangdian are queried. If it is extended to the past 100 years, there are only four earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above, with an average of 0.04 per year. The largest earthquake in history was1March 967.

On the whole, the historical seismic activity in China shows that although there are frequent earthquakes and serious earthquake disasters in North China, the historical seismic activity level in xiong'an new area is very low, so it can be said that this place is a treasure house.
