As it sits at the crossroads of two tectonic plates, Taiwan is subjected to earthquakes on a regular basis. The US Geological Survey first evaluated the earthquake to be magnitude 6.9 at 1:41 a.m. (1741 GMT Tuesday), but later lowered it to 6.7. According to Chen Kuo-chang, chief of Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau’s Seismological Center, there were roughly 150 aftershocks, the most of which were under 3.6 magnitude.
