the 2008 sichuan earthquake was caused by the collision of the Indian and eurasian plate.
The 2008 Sichuan earthquake created trenches in the ground and caused many of the mountains surrounding Sichuan to crumble.
Sichuan is a very active tectonic area. The earthquake in Sichuan of May 2008 was caused by the movement along a fault line. The deformation of the crust in this region was caused by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This has created the Himalayas over the years as earthquakes are common in this collision zone. The earthquake was felt in Beijing and Shanghai, over 1500km away.
It was called the Sichuan earthquake.

the china earthquake obviously happened in china but it happend in a place called Sichuan. Can anyboy else tell me why did the earthquake happen?
because they already had earthquakes so now they know what to do
the earthquake in Sichuan China, 5.12.2008
The earth quake was caused due to thrusting on longmensham fault. The deformatiobn of the rocks in the region was caused by the collision of the Indian and the eurasian tectonic plates and continued movement of the plates relative to each other. The sichuan area is a very tectonic active are just like the west side of the USA.
