Although this earthquake was felt in Sichuan Province, more than 1,000 km away from the epicentral area, it did not attract much media attention because it shook a thinly populated area on the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The preliminary epicenter (U.S. Geological Survey-National Earthquake Information Center [NEIC]) is located near 90.5°E, about 300 km west of the Golmud-Lhasa road (Figures 2 and 3...
