Few things make me happier than riding a bicycle, and on this trip, I rode the Yufu Bikeway from Yuli Township, which took me to the fault line created by the collision of the Eurasian and the Philippine Sea plates.
It feels really humbling to stand there. A tiny human on tectonic plates that can move the earth.

tectonic plates 在 Focus Taiwan Facebook 的最佳解答
The magnitude 6.0 earthquake that struck Hualien City, with an intensity of 7, on February 6 has raised questions once again about the safety of Taiwan’s buildings. Many of Taiwan’s buildings are decades old, and built when construction standards were not as high as recent years. That’s especially worrying given Taiwan lies at the junction of two tectonic plates and gets frequent earthquakes. How safe is the building you're living in?

如果大家有看外國媒體對花蓮地震報導的話,就會看到一些看似熟悉但是意思陌生的單字,例如: fault。fault 最常見的意思是過錯,例如: It's not your fault. (這不是你的錯)。但是在地理學中,fault指的是斷層,fault lines就是斷層帶。
