Earthquake in Myanmar
Myanmar Earthuake: The earthquake on Friday (29 March 2025) in Myanmar has not only caused heavy damage but is also being seen as a warning for the coming days. According to a prominent American geologist, a 7.7 -magnitude earthquake, which killed about 1700 people in Myanmar, has emitted energy equivalent to more than 300 atomic bombs.
Earthquake shocks may occur for months
Geologist Jess Finix told CNN, “The power emanating from such earthquakes is equal to about 334 atomic bombs.” Phoenix also warned that the earthquake in Myanmar on Friday may remain “for months.” He said that this would happen because the Indian tectonic plates collide with the Eurasian plate under Myanmar.
Due to this, the intensity of the earthquake increased
According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the epicenter of the earthquake was located at a 10 -km shallow depth, further increased its intensity. Experts have warned that this can only be a beginning and more shocks of earthquakes can be felt in the coming months.

Broken contact with many areas
The earthquake in Myanmar was the most powerful earthquake in the country in more than a century. The situation is such that rescue teams are failing to reach the affected people. Especially in areas where a major bridge over the Iravadi river has lost contact. It is believed that it may take several weeks to reveal the correct number of dead.
The risk of spreading epidemic
After the earthquake in Myanmar, the fierce odor of the dead bodies in the debris has spread all around. The risk of spreading epidemic has also increased. As time has passed, the hopes of getting people buried in the rubble are getting low. Many teams from India have also reached Myanmar to run rescue operations and treat the injured.
