China lies east of India and Pakistan and west from Japan while lying directly south of Mongolia. The map of China has become a common search for people who want to locate where exactly the country is and inside the country where the province of Qinghai lies. This is because a series of tremors have jolted the population of southwestern Qinghai and left the area annihilated as many of the houses that exist in that region are made of mud and aren’t earthquake resistant. The province of Qinghai is somewhat in the western center of the country and north of Xizang, the province that holds Tibet.
The map of China can be found easily online or if one looked for it in a world atlas but the location of the country or province might be misleading as to what temperature the population is going through. Following the earthquake the government has dispatched troops the effected areas to help excavate people from the rubble which has created piles and piles of debris as hundreds of homes were flattened.
It is being said that the region is prone to earthquakes and that in a single year it goes through an average of at least five quakes which range anywhere from above five points on the Richter scale to eight. If you may recall the country went through a similar crisis some years ago when a massive quake left thousands of people dead in China. The map of China will help you locate Qinghai and Yushu County where the epicenter of the quake was located.
