1999 年 9 月 21 日台湾发生的破坏性集集地震是复杂碰撞板块边界活跃构造过程的戏剧性表现。造成2400多人死亡和数百亿美元的财产损失。地震期间，80公里长的中国山脊沿着车笼堡逆冲断层向上和向西移动（图1a）。来自美国的地震地质学家团队与中央研究院、台湾大学和台湾中央地质调查局的地球科学家合作，共同解决台湾沿逆断层反复发生大地震的问题。
Taiwan's destructive Chi-chi earthquake of September 21, 1999, was a dramatic expression of active tectonic processes at a complex collisional plate boundary. It resulted in more than 2,400 causalities and tens of billions of dollars in property loss. During the earthquake, an 80-km stretch of the country's mountainous backbone moved upward and westward along the range-bounding Chelungpu thrust fault (Figure la). A team of earthquake geologists from the United States, in collaboration with geoscientists from Academia Sinica, National Taiwan University and the Central Geological Survey of Taiwan, worked together to address questions concerning the recurrence of large-magnitude earthquakes along reverse faults in Taiwan.
