Providing independent earthquake measurements
Taiwan got hit with back-to-back earthquakes this week—a 6.0-magnitude tremor on Christmas Day, followed by a devastating 6.6-magnitude quake Saturday night that shook buildings across Taipei, damaged Taoyuan Airport's ceiling, and cut power to thousands. This marks the latest test for an island that sits directly on the collision zone where the Philippine Sea plate rams into the Eurasian plate at 7 centimeters per year, generating roughly 2,200 earthquakes annually.
