Has the Earth entered a "vibration mode",

Are there really more earthquakes than in the past?

Regarding this, the relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Seismological Bureau told reporters that based on current observation data, earthquakes in the world, China, and Guangdong are still at a normal level of activity, and there is no significant increase or decrease compared to before. One possible reason why most people feel that earthquakes occur frequently is that in the era of the internet, information dissemination is fast and comprehensive, and people have a strong sense of immersion, leading to misconceptions.

The person in charge stated that Guangzhou is located in the middle of the southeast coastal seismic zone, with multiple faults developed within its jurisdiction, and has a certain potential for earthquake generation. "We should maintain a reverence for nature."

The person in charge said, "We will further strengthen the combination of specialties and groups, strengthen the construction of earthquake stations and group measurement and prevention points, strengthen the analysis and processing of observation data, strengthen comprehensive consultation and other work, and strive to make breakthroughs in earthquake prediction and early warning, and make every effort to prepare for earthquake monitoring and prediction."

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
