 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]A study following the 2018 Hualien earthquake sequence show that the Ryukyu Arc may be kinematically connected to the northern Central Range in Taiwan. Shallow earthquake data shows that the offset in the northern Central Range follows the strike of the Ryukyu Arc, not the Longitudinal Fault Valley which is the suture between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, east out into the sea. Additionally, GPS data shows that the northern Central Range follows the motion of the Ryukyu arc to the south-east as opposed to the west like the rest of the mountain range. [1]
