Earthquake News: Earthquake tremors were felt once again in Myanmar. Earthquake occurred in Myanmar at 22 am (Indian time) in the early hours of Tuesday. The depth of the earthquake was 10 kilometers. The intensity of the earthquake on the Richter scale measured 3.4. The earthquake of this intensity is usually lighter and reduces the chances of massive damage.

The earthquake tremors were also felt in Myanmar on Monday. Earlier, according to the National Center for Seismology, Myanmar had a 4.0 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale at 12:28 pm on May 23-24. Its center was at a depth of about 10 km from the ground. People came out of their homes as soon as the shock was felt.

Myanmar high -risk area?

Indeed, Myanmar is one of the most active areas in terms of earthquake. The global seismic risk comes from the medium to high -risk red zone of the earthquake on the map. It is said that the biggest reason for the danger of earthquake in Myanmar is Sagiing Fault. This is a large fault, which mainly falls between the Indian plate and the Sunda plate. It extends about 1,200 km from Myanmar. In this fault, two territories run next to each other, whose speed rate is estimated between 11 mm and 18 mm annually. Constant slipping increases stress and eventually leads to an earthquake.

What are the causes of earthquake?

The main reason for earthquake ie Earthquake is the dynamics and mutual conflicts of geological plates. The outer surface of the earth is made of seven large and several small tectonic plates. These plates remain in constant motion. When these plates collide, slide or go under each other, that energy takes out as an earthquake. Stress is collected over time in the edge of the plates or in the fault lines. When this stress exceeds a range, the rocks break and suddenly energy is free, causing an earthquake.
