Two earthquakes affected Taitung and Hualien Counties, Taiwan within hours of each other. The first earthquake struck Taitung on September 17, 2022, occurring with a magnitude of 6.5 Mw , causing minor damage and some injuries. The second earthquake occurred roughly a day after the first tremor struck the same area, with a stronger magnitude of 6.9 Mw . Both earthquakes had maximum Modified Mercalli intensities of VII (Very strong) and IX (Violent), respectively. [4] [5]

Tectonic setting

Taiwan lies on the boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine Plate, which converge at 80 mm per year. The island is the result of uplift caused by the collision between the northern end of the Luzon Arc and the continental margin of mainland China. [6]

Earthquakes

The earthquakes were the result of shallow oblique-slip faulting. An analysis of both focal mechanisms suggest the earthquakes ruptured along a shallow WNW-dipping, SSW–NNE-striking sinistral fault or steep SSW–dipping, east-oriented oblique-dextral fault. [7] [8] Prior to the mainshock event, seismologists in Taiwan said it was produced along an unknown fault that was likely unstudied. [9] The epicenter location suggest a fault located along the west side of the Huadong Valley, responsible for thrusting the Central Mountain Range. The earthquake was attributed to continental collision between the Philippine Sea and Eurasian plate. [10]

Foreshocks

The largest foreshock occurred on 17 September, measuring 6.4 ML  by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB). It struck at a depth of 7.3 km (4.5 mi) and had a maximum CWB seismic intensity of 6+. [11] After the mainshock, the 17 September earthquake and 70 subsequent shocks recorded later were reassigned as "foreshocks". [12] The Earthquake Prediction Center of the CWB said that 73 foreshocks were recorded, which is a rare occurrence. Five foreshocks had magnitudes larger than 5.0. [13]

It was felt strongly at Quanzhou, Xiamen in Fujian Province and Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. [14] The Hong Kong Observatory received 10 reports of people feeling shaking; an analysis indicated it was felt with a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of III. [15]

Mainshock

The United States Geological Survey reported that it had a moment magnitude of 6.9, [5] which was downgraded from an initial 7.2. [16] although the Japan Meteorological Agency reported that it had a magnitude (MJMA ) of 7.3. [17] The Central Weather Bureau reported that it measured 6.8 on the Richter magnitude scale. [18] It is considered the largest onshore earthquake in Taitung county since 1973. [19]

Tsunami warnings

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory with waves up to a meter high for Miyakojima and the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. A tsunami threat was also issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. [20] A tsunami with heights of 0.41 m (1.3 ft) was observed. [21]

Response

In a speech made shortly after the second earthquake, President Tsai Ing-wen warned of large aftershocks and called for citizens to remain vigilant. [50] The Central Emergency Operation Center was placed on its highest alert level in response to aftershocks. [51] The Atomic Energy Council said that nuclear plants across the country were unaffected and in usual operation. [12] About 400 tourists were rescued after being stranded on Chike Mountain due to landslides. [51] The local government ordered the closure of schools in Yuli, Fuli and Zhuoxi townships.
