Earthquake is a normal and common phenomenon in Taiwan. In certain places, you can observe some evidence of the earthquakes. Her is one of the spots.
"The Village of Chinyuan is located in a small alluvial fan of the Chinyuan River. Because of that, the shallow stratigraphy and structure of the Chihshang Fault is different than other sites in the Chihshang Fault area. Due to rapid erosion and sedimentation of the Chinyuan River, the bedrocks on both sides of the fault are buried by thick young alluvial deposits. However, the Chihshang Fault with rigorous creep still ruptured the young gravels and emerged into the surface, causing numerous fractures on the human construction on the surface. Alone the river, four fractures zones can be observed along the Chinyuan River channel, each with a creep meter installed to straddling the fault."
Besides that, this place is also on the bicycle way in Chihshang town. So why not grab the cache and then sit down to have some coffee and cake?
地震在台灣是一個正常且經常發生的現象,在某些特定的地方,你甚至還可以觀察到地震發生過後的痕跡,這裡便是其中之一。
"錦園村位於錦園溪口的沖積扇上。受到河流快速的侵蝕、搬運及沈積作用,年輕而厚實的河流沈積物覆蓋在斷層帶上,使得斷層兩側較老的基盤地層在地下無法出露,故池上斷層在本地的活動行為與其他幾處不同。雖然如此,快速且持續滑移的池上斷層,仍將年輕的河流沈積物錯動而使破裂帶穿出地表,破壞了斷層帶上的人工建物。錦園溪溝渠中的四道斷層破裂,其中三道破裂佈設有潛變儀及釘網,以觀測紀錄斷層的活動。"
撇開以上比較嚴肅的話題,這個地方其實也是在池上腳踏車道上,所以你何不找到寶之後,坐下來喝杯咖啡吃個點心呢?
