At least 70 people died, 11,500 were injured and a further 44,000 families were homeless in the wake of the event. Damage was reported in the town of Zhangbei, Hebei Province, as well as to sections of the Great Wall of China. Earthquake According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred as a result of shallow oblique-reverse faulting. The rupture likely occurred along a north northeast-south southwest striking, east-northeast dipping fault. Coseismic slip mainly occurred in the shallowest 8 km of the fault while the maximum slip is estimated at 0.55 m at depths of 4 to 5 km on the fault plane. No surface ruptures were observed as slip at the surface only measured 0.03 m; too small for any observable ground displacements. The absence of any surface ruptures could classify the event as a blind thrust earthquake.Zhenhong Li Wanpeng Feng Zhonghuai Xu Paul Cross The 1998 Mw 5.7 Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake revisited: a buried thrust fault revealed with interferometric synthetic aperture radar Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems 2008 9 4 10.1029/2007GC001910 135086634 https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2007GC001910 1525-2027 subscription Impact An area measuring 135 km2 was assigned a maximum intensity of VIII on the China seismic intensity scale.China Earthquake Disaster Prevention Center 1998年张北地震 Zhangbei Earthquake in 1998 http://www.hbdzj.gov.cn/hbdzj/webpage/view.jsp?id=2019082011365861610934 Hebei Earthquake Agency 13 November 2021 20 August 2019 According to local officials, there were a total of 49 deaths (some sources suggest 70), and 11,439 injured, 362 of them seriously.
