Earthquake
New Delhi: Earthquake tremors have been felt in Leh-Ladakh. Its intensity is measured 3.6 on the Richter scale. The center of the earthquake is also considered to be Leh-Ladakh. Earlier, there were strong earthquake tremors in Afghanistan. Its intensity was measured at 4.2 on the Richter scale. The National Center for Sisamology (NCS) gave this information.
Why do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are natural phenomena occurring on the surface of the Earth, which are mainly due to stress and activities in the internal structure of the Earth. The main cause of earthquake in India is tectonic activities in the Himalayan region. There is tension here due to a collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is the reason that Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Northeast India are sensitive in terms of earthquake.
In fact, tactonic plates are constantly stressed between these plates from the moving, climbing, climbing, slopes. This creates energy, in such a situation, if light earthquakes keep coming, then this energy continues to be released and there is a possibility of big earthquake coming. If there is more tension between these plates, then the energy pressure is also high and it tries to get out fast together, which is why there is a possibility of a terrible earthquake sometimes.
How can you guess the intensity of the earthquake on the Richter scale?
0 to 1.9 Seasmographs get information from 2 to 2.9 very low vibrations. 3 to 3.9 It seems that a heavy vehicle passed by 4 to 4.9. The goods kept in the house can fall below its place. 5 to 5.9 heavy goods and furniture can also move, 6 to 6.9 can move the base of 6.9.9 Buildings. Earth’s vibration will feel clear
