After the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, Myanmar and Thailand, earthquake tremors are being felt intermittently. On Sunday morning, four earthquakes occurred in parts of India, Myanmar and Tajikistan within an hour. These tremors spread panic among the people and people came out of their houses in fear. This earthquake has increased the concern in Central and South Asia. Once again the pictures of destruction caused by the earthquake have become fresh.

Earthquake in Mandi, Himachal

On Sunday, the first earthquake tremor was felt in Mandi, Himachal. According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the depth of the earthquake was five kilometers from the earth. Its intensity was measured at 3.4 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was located at 31.49 degrees north, 76.94 degrees east.

Although the intensity of the earthquake was not high, people felt the tremors. People said that first they heard a mild rumbling and then suddenly the earth shook. As soon as the tremors of the earthquake were felt, people came out of their houses. So far no one has been reported injured or loss of property.

Earthquake tremors in Myanmar

According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), soon after the earthquake in Mandi, an earthquake of 5.5 magnitude hit near Meiktila in central Myanmar. This earthquake was one of the most powerful tremors after the devastating (7.7 magnitude) earthquake on March 28. In the earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 26, more than 600 people were killed and thousands were injured. Tremors of the earthquake were felt in both Mandalay and Naypyidaw cities of Myanmar. The earthquake was so powerful that people came out of the buildings and the roofs of some houses were damaged. However, no casualties have been reported from this earthquake. But these tremors have increased the concerns of the people of Myanmar, who are already busy compensating for the damage caused by the earthquake.

Two tremors in Tajikistan

After the earthquake in Myanmar, strong tremors of earthquake were felt in Tajikistan at 9.54 am. Its intensity was measured at 6.1 on the Richter scale. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers, with its epicenter at 38.86 ° N, 70.61 ° E. It was a powerful earthquake. People in nearby cities reported that they felt the tremors, some shops and schools were evacuated as a precaution. After this, another tremor of earthquake was felt in Tajikistan at 10.36 am. Its intensity was measured at 3.9. Increase in seismic activity in the area has increased people's concerns.

Why do earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes occur when there is movement or collision between tectonic plates (large sections of the earth's crust). These plates keep floating and tension is generated due to their movement. When this tension is suddenly released, the energy is released in the form of waves (seismic waves), causing an earthquake. Movement of tectonic plates: Earthquakes occur when plates collide, move apart or slide under each other. For example, the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates in the Himalayan region is frequent and earthquakes are felt.
