In China, although this geological disaster is not as frequent as Japan and other countries, there are still some areas in the high-incidence zone, which needs to be paid enough attention. According to the research of experts, there are seven provinces and cities in China that belong to the most high-incidence areas, including Sichuan Province, Xinjiang region, Yunnan, Qinghai and Gansu. These areas are located at the junction of tectonic plates or areas of frequent crustal activity, so disasters are frequent.

Among these areas, Sichuan Province has the most complex topography and is located in the active crustal zone, so disasters are frequent. There are eight counties in Xinjiang that are in the ** belt, which is directly related to the fact that the region is located at the junction of plates. However, some people believe that the local ** frequency is related to resource extraction. The area is due to the special geographical location of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the short formation time of the mountain range, resulting in geological activity and frequent occurrences. Yunnan, Qinghai and Gansu are affected by topographic faults, altitude differences and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, respectively, and are also the most high-incidence areas.

In addition to these six regions, Hebei Province is also one of the regions in the northern region that is prone to geological disasters. The occurrence of the Tangshan Metropolis brought great disasters to the region, but through the joint efforts of the country and the people, the Tangshan area was able to regain its glory.
