Earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir: Panic due to strong tremors of earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir, scientists have already warned of a devastating flood in the hilly areas due to this, 4.9 magnitude Earthquake jolts Jammu and Kashmir as Indian plate and Eurasian plate collide with each other

Jammu. Is there going to be a big earthquake in the hilly areas of India? This question has arisen because strong tremors of earthquake were felt in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday morning. The earthquake came in the morning and most of the people were asleep then. They woke up due to the strong shaking of the earth. People came out of their houses. It is being told about the earthquake that two tremors were felt one after the other in Jammu and Kashmir and the first tremor of the earthquake was quite strong.

According to the National Center for Seismology, strong tremors of earthquake were felt in many areas of Jammu and Kashmir including Baramulla, Poonch and Srinagar. The first tremor of the earthquake was of 4.9 magnitude. Whereas, the intensity of the second tremor was measured at 4.8 on the Richter scale. Apart from Jammu and Kashmir, there are reports of strong tremors of earthquake in some areas of Pakistan as well. There is no news of any kind of damage in both the tremors of the earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir. There have been no casualties, but people are definitely in panic. Earthquakes keep happening every day in Jammu and Kashmir and other hilly states, but the strong tremors of earthquake on Tuesday have increased panic among the people.

For many years, geologists have been warning that a big and devastating earthquake can occur in the hilly areas of India. The reason for this is that the Indian plate is constantly colliding with the Eurasian plate. The collision of these plates under the earth causes earthquakes. The Indian plate is constantly sliding upwards. Where it keeps colliding with the Eurasian plate. This collision has been going on for millions of years and due to this the Himalayas have also been formed. Earthquake is such a natural disaster that cannot be predicted in advance. The reason for this is that till date scientists have not been able to make any instrument to accurately predict earthquakes. Only by seeing the vibrations in the seismograph, scientists are able to tell whether a big earthquake can occur in the future or not. It is also difficult to tell its exact date.
