A strong earthquake tremors were felt on Friday morning in the Tibet region of China. Earthquake tremors were felt in Tibet at 9.27 am in Tibet here. The intensity of the earthquake on the Richter scale was measured at 4.2. The National Earthquake Science Center (NCS) has given information about this. The earthquake was near the border of China and Nepal. Earlier too, earthquake tremors were felt several times in the Tibet region of China. Let us know that earlier, heavy landslides have been reported in the southwestern area of China. Four people died in the landslide incident, while more than 17 people are stuck in the rubble.
Why do earthquakes come?
In recent times, there is an increase in earthquake incidents in many areas of the country and the world. There are 7 tectonic plates within our earth. These plates continue to roam in their place. However, sometimes they also have conflict or friction. This is why earthquake incidents are seen on earth. General life has to bear the most loss of this. Earthquakes collapse houses, in which thousands of people die.
What are the earthquake zones in India
According to geological experts, about 59 per cent of the total territory of India is considered sensitive to earthquake. Scientists have divided the earthquake sector in India into Zone-2, Zone-3, Zone-4 and Zone-5 i.e. 4 parts. Zone-5 areas are considered the most sensitive, while Zone-2 is considered less sensitive. Delhi, the capital of our country, falls in Zone-4 of the earthquake. Earthquakes of more than 7 intensity can occur here, which can cause great destruction. 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.
Earthquake intensity on 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.
