Thus, researchers analyzed data from 35 nations and regions that have accumulated at least 10,000 deaths associated with earthquakes since 1500.2024-02-26T22:44+0100plenglish-bc9d5ac47332664edb981542a8878f3920240226224400https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/quake-info/8875085/mag4quake-Feb-26-2024-NORTHERN-XINJIANG-CHINA.htmlNearby places The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Yining, a city with more than 520,000 inhabitants in China , in 56 km (35 mi) distance southeast of the epicenter. People likely experienced weak shaking there.

The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,.2024-02-26T16:48+0100volcanodiscovery-c086be1e3e4c264c746a0ecebf0d94e420240226164800
