地震概况
Macau is a Special Administrative Region of China on the western bank of the Pearl River estuary, adjacent to Guangdong Province and approximately 60 kilometres west of Hong Kong. Like Hong Kong, Macau sits within the broad southeastern China seismic province and is subject to low-to-moderate seismic hazard from the same regional tectonic drivers — principally far-field stress from the India-Eurasia collision and local reactivation of old continental margin faults. The territory is built on a combination of granitic bedrock peninsulas and extensively reclaimed land, the latter comprising a significant proportion of modern Macau's area following decades of land reclamation into the Pearl River delta and adjacent waters.
Reclaimed land in Macau is a particular concern for seismic hazard because it typically consists of hydraulically placed sand and marine sediments with high water content and low density — ideal conditions for [[liquefaction]] during earthquake shaking. While the probability of a damaging earthquake directly beneath Macau is low, even a moderate offshore event of magnitude 5 to 6 could trigger [[liquefaction]] in reclaimed areas, potentially causing differential settlement and structural damage. The 1874 earthquake felt strongly in nearby Hong Kong was also felt in Macau. Modern construction in Macau's casino and hotel district follows building codes that account for seismic loading, though many older structures in the historic quarter were built without seismic provisions.
The offshore South China Sea to the south of Macau is crossed by east-west trending extensional [[fault]]s that mark the passive margin transition from continental to oceanic crust. These faults occasionally generate low-to-moderate seismicity detectable by the regional network. No destructive earthquake has been recorded in Macau's documented history, and the territory's seismic hazard is classified as low to moderate by Chinese national standards. Macau participates in the Pearl River Delta regional seismic monitoring cooperative.

常见问题解答
Macau has a low level of seismic activity. Large earthquakes are infrequent but not impossible. A total of 0 earthquakes have been recorded in Macau's seismic history.
Macau has had 0 recorded earthquakes. This count includes events of all magnitudes detected by seismic monitoring networks. The actual number of earthquakes may be higher, as smaller events can go undetected.
Macau is classified in the "Low" seismic zone, located in Asia. Seismic zones indicate the relative level of earthquake hazard based on historical activity, geological conditions, and proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
地震时，蹲下、掩护、抓紧。躲到坚固的桌子下面，保护头部和颈部，紧紧抓住直到震动停止。远离窗户和重物。地震后，检查伤情并做好余震准备。
国家地震风险通过多个因素评估：与板块边界的距离、历史地震活动（过去地震的频率和震级）、地质条件、地震带的人口密度以及建筑规范的执行情况。QuakeFYI根据这些因素分配从0（无风险）到4（极高风险）的地震带等级。
地震带是根据地震危险程度划分的地理区域。0级带风险可忽略，1级带风险较低，2级带风险中等，3级带风险较高，4级带风险极高。这些分带由历史地震数据、构造背景和地质条件决定。
环太平洋火山带沿线的国家经历最多的地震。日本、印度尼西亚、智利、菲律宾和伊朗的地震活动始终最为活跃。美国（尤其是阿拉斯加和加利福尼亚）、土耳其和墨西哥也是地震活动最频繁的国家之一。
人口密度会放大地震风险，因为更多的人口和基础设施暴露在潜在的损害之下。人口密集城市中7.0级地震可能造成数千人伤亡，而同样的地震发生在无人区可能不会造成任何伤亡。建筑规范和应急准备可以大大降低人口密集地区的风险。
地震密度衡量地震活动相对于国家国土面积的集中程度，以每1,000平方公里的地震次数表示。高地震密度表示单位面积地震活动频繁，有助于比较不同面积国家之间的地震风险。
