Chelungpu Fault Preservation Park (車籠埔斷層保存園區) Audio-Visual Center Film Screening

Film Introductions:
I. Aerial View of Chelungpu Fault (車籠埔斷層) Landforms
On September 21, 1999, the Chelungpu Fault slipped again, triggering the Magnitude 7.3 Jiji Earthquake (集集地震), which resulted in 2,415 deaths, 11,305 injuries, and over 50,000 completely collapsed buildings in Central Taiwan. A surface rupture of approximately 100 kilometers was left on the earth's surface.
As Taiwan is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, earthquake disasters are frequent. Beyond the 921 Earthquake, the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake and the 1906 Meishan Earthquake also caused severe damage.
National Chung Cheng University (國立中正大學) is located near the Meishan Fault in Chiayi, where a Magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred in 1906, making it a high-seismic-hazard area. NCCU established the Institute of Seismology in 1990 and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in 2002. Besides cultivating talent, they are committed to promoting earthquake education and disaster prevention concepts.
This film was planned by NCCU to lead the audience on an aerial tour along the Chelungpu Fault to understand the impact of fault activity on Taiwan.
Recommended Audience: Families, students, teachers, seniors, general public

III. Limits of the Earth - Tears of Sea Ice
The TTV team follows Taiwanese scientists to 78 degrees north latitude, the land closest to the North Pole—Svalbard, Norway (挪威 冷岸群島). Located in the High Arctic, the team took three flights and a boat to reach the Arctic Research Station. While exploring glaciers, they witnessed the moment of glacial calving. The impact of climate change on polar regions is unfolding before their eyes. These floating ice blocks falling into the sea are like the tears of sea ice; the constant sound of ice quakes feels like the glacier signaling for help. Can humanity hear it?
