Earth shook earthquake
The neighboring country of India was shaken by the earthquake of Afghanistan earthquake. According to the National Earthquake Science Center, on Sunday night (9 February) at 10.08 pm, Afghanistan had an earthquake of 36.51 northern latitude and 70.97 Eastern longitude at a depth of 180 km at a depth of 180 km. This earthquake was of moderate intensity. There are frequent earthquake incidents in Afghanistan.
Earthquake also occurred on 4 February
A few days ago, on February 4, an earthquake of 4.3 and 4.1 magnitude was recorded in the same area. 4.3 A magnitude earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km at 01:42:18 IST, while the 4.1 magnitude earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km at 14:58:48 IST.
Earthquake tremors took 13 times in 30 days
These earthquakes are generally considered more dangerous due to increasing intensity of ground shaking. According to NCS, there have been 13 earthquakes in Afghanistan in the last 30 days.
The biggest earthquake occurred in October 2023
Please tell that in October 2023, the 6.3 magnitude earthquake destroyed the villages near Herat. Hundreds of people died due to this. The number of people who died had increased further due to medical facilities already going on in poor condition.
Know why the earthquake occurs again and again in Afghanistan?
The main cause of earthquake in Afghanistan is its geographical location and activities of tectonic plates. Afghanistan, which is located in South-Central Asia. The earthquake comes in the area. The region is part of the Alpine-Himalayan belt, one of the most active seismic regions in the world. There are many reasons for earthquake here.
There are many active fault lines (geological cracks) in Afghanistan. Earthquake occurs when plates with these fault lines. Major fault lines such as Chaman Fault and Herat Fault cause seismic activity in the region. The geological structure of Afghanistan is very complex. There are more mountainous and mountainous regions, which are more sensitive to earthquakes. Earthquake in Afghanistan causes heavy loss of life and property, as construction standards are weak here and the disaster management system is limited.
