On Saturday, an earthquake of 6.2 magnitude occurred on the coast of New Ireland region of Papua New Guinea. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake was felt at a depth of 72 km in the sea, 115 km from Cocopo. The earthquake was very strong, but there was no major danger. Local people say that everything is fine.
The land below the sea rose on Saturday morning. The center of the earthquake was far from Cocopo, so it did not have much effect. The receptionist of Cocopo Beach Bangalose Resort, non -standard Abels, said. “The earthquake lasted for about a minute, but there was no damage in the area.”
Earthquake tremors can also come in India
Recently there was a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, killing more than 2,000 people. This accident shocked and mourned the whole world. On the other hand, Japan has also warned that there may be a huge earthquake soon, resulting in death of about 3 lakh people. But this danger is not limited to Myanmar or Japan. Experts say that India, especially the Himalayan region, is facing serious threat to similar earthquakes.
American geologist Roger Bilham said in 2020 that a major earthquake can occur in two or more parts of the Himalayas. He said that India’s tectonic plate is slowly moving towards Tibet, but this pressure can cause heavy havoc in one stroke.
