After a detailed determination of earthquake parameters, the China Seismological Bureau to Wenchuan from the 7.8 magnitude earthquake revised to 8. Wenchuan earthquake had a preliminary conclusions of the reasons. China Geological Survey finds that the initial monitoring and evaluation, Wenchuan earthquake in India to the Asian plate subduction, resulting in rapid uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau caused by focal depth of 10 km -20 km and a longer duration, the huge destructive.

18 reporters from the Ministry of Land and Resources was informed that 15 years, China Geological Survey and the convening of Wenchuan earthquake-induced secondary analysis of the situation would Geological disasters, the Chinese Land and Resources Center for Remote Sensing airborne geophysical exploration, geological China Environmental Monitoring Center, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences geology, geomechanics, and other units are based on surveys of experts to monitor and evaluate the results of the study, the disaster of "consultations" on the shape of the three conclusions.
First, the Indian plate subduction to Asia, resulting in rapid uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The slow movement of material plateau to the east, along the eastern edge of the plateau in the Longmen Mountains to the east structural zone squeezed, the Sichuan Basin under the rigid face of strong block to block, caused by tectonic stress energy of the long-term accumulation in the final Longmenshan Kitagawa - Ying Show the release of all of a sudden the region.

A friend of mine Seismic Q What is the cause, he said that under the principle of geographical, plate movement is the cause, I say nonsense. Today, to get a more detailed explanation, from mobile phones reported that mandatory binding:
China Seismological Bureau deputy director of the monitoring and forecasting that when this is a large plate earthquake fault activity. Asia and Europe to the Indian Ocean plate subduction, the energy from the inland to the release of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. China Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the bottom plate, the plate in South China, North China Plate 6, and other major sub-plate. Four Chuan Wenchuan is active seismic area in a large 6 of the National Asian plate at fault. The earthquake brought together all of a sudden release of huge energy, energy transfer along the plate cracks on the plate for extrusion, the bottom of the breakdown of large-scale, leading other regions have felt serious drought.
