Breakfast Special: Is Taiwan's earthquake the largest in its sequence?
Can you imagine living through more than 500 aftershocks after a strong earthquake?
That was what rocked Taiwan over the past week or so, following a 7.4 magnitude quake that hit Hualien earlier this month - the strongest to hit the region in a quarter-century.
But some are worried that this earthquake is not the biggest event in this sequence. Is that a possibility that can be ruled out at this point?
On episode of Breakfast Special, Yin Yifan, Seismologist & Postdoctoral Fellow, MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences weighs in.
