Earthquake in Tibet, Bay of Bengal and Myanmar
Lhasa: Tibetas have felt strong tremors in Tibet, Bay of Bengal and Myanmar. There has been a 3.8 magnitude earthquake in Tibet. There has been an earthquake of 4.5 magnitude in the Bay of Bengal. At the same time, there has been an earthquake of intensity of 3.9 in Myanmar.
However, until the news was written, no casualties have been reported from this earthquake. Significantly, earthquakes are the movement or vibrations occurring on the surface of the Earth, which are mainly due to the speed of tectonic plates.
Learn the reason for earthquake also
The outer layer (lithosphere) of the Earth is divided into many huge tectonic plates. These plates float on the inner part of the Earth. When these plates collide with each other, move away or move under each other, it causes stress. When this stress is suddenly released, an earthquake occurs.
When stress is released in tectonic plates, this energy spreads as seismic waves (seismic waves). These waves shake the surface of the Earth, causing earthquake to experience. The episode of the earthquake is the place that is just above the point where the rocks break.
Where is the risk of earthquake in India?
The Himalayan region in India and some other fault lines (eg Kutch, Northeast India) is high at the risk of earthquake, as the Indian plate is hitting the Eurasian plate. In short, earthquakes are the result of natural and sometimes human-inspired processes, which are associated with the internal mobility of the Earth.
How can you guess the intensity of the earthquake on the Richter scale?
In an earthquake of 4 to 4.9 intensity, the goods kept in the house can fall down from their place. A 5 to 5.9 magnitude earthquake can also move heavy goods and furniture. The base of the building may crack in 6 to 6.9. Buildings fall from 7 to 7.9. There is a risk of tsunami in 8 to 8.9 and there is more destruction. 9 or more is the worst destruction.
