More than 365 aftershocks have hit Taiwan since a magnitude 7.2 earthquake
rocked much of the island on Wednesday.

Aftershocks recorded by the Central Weather Administration included 207 of
3-4 magnitude, 140 of 4-5 magnitude, and 16 of 5-6 magnitude.

There were also two powerful aftershocks of magnitudes 6.5 and 6.2, which
struck at 8:11 a.m. and 10:14 a.m. on Wednesday.

Many of these aftershocks were located on the Milun Fault and the Suhua
coastal area between Yilan and Hualien counties...

The Milun Fault, also called the Hualien Fault, is an 8-km-long north-south
left-lateral fault stretching from the coastal area of Qixingtan Beach in
Hualien County to the southwest side of Meilunshan (Mt. Meilun) in Hualien
City.

At this time, quake and weather watchers say more research and data from
geologists is needed before they can say what triggered Wednesday's
destructive tremor.
