Earthquake
India’s neighboring country was shaken by earthquake. According to a statement by the National Center for Sisamology (NCS), a 4.2 -magnitude earthquake occurred on the Richter scale in Tibet on Tuesday. The NCS reported that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 5 km, making it susceptible to afterchock.
Shallow earthquakes are dangerous
Such shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deep earthquakes, as their energy is more when they approach the Earth’s surface. Due to this, the land also moves more. The buildings suffer more damage. A large number of people are casualties.
Earthquake occurred at a depth of 70 km first
NCS reported that earlier on February 27, there was another earthquake of 4.1 magnitude in Tibet. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 70 km. According to a statement by the National Center for Sisamology (NCS), there was a 4.2 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale a day earlier in Tibet. According to NCS, the earthquake came at a shallow depth of 10 km, thereafter a possibility of potential afterchock.
Why earthquake coming to Tibet?
Explain that the Tibetan plateau is known for its seismic activity due to a tectonic plate collision. Tibet and Nepal are located on a major geological defect line, where the Indian tectonic plates push upwards into the Eurasian plate. For this reason, earthquakes are a regular phenomenon in many parts of Tibet.
