Earthquake tremors have been felt once again in four countries including India. Within three hours, tremors were felt in India, Nepal, Tibet and many areas of Pakistan. In Patna, India, people felt a strong tremor of earthquake at 2.35 am, after which people came out of their homes. Its intensity was recorded at 5.5 on the Richter scale.
Earthquake tremors in Nepal were also felt in Bihar
Earthquake tremors in Nepal were also felt in Bihar, the impact of earthquake was felt in Patna, Bihar, people came out of the houses at midnight, Pakistan had an earthquake of 4.12 am in the morning, Tibet also recorded a 4.1 magnitude earthquake, it was a matter of honor that there was no report of any casualties from anywhere.
Earthquake center in Bagmati province of Nepal
According to the National Earthquake Science Center, earthquake tremors were felt in Bagmati province of Nepal at 2.35 am. Bagmati province of Nepal is located 189 km north of Muzaffarpur in Bihar. There is no information about the loss of life and property in this earthquake. These shocks were felt not only in Nepal but also in the neighboring country Tibet.
Earthquake in Pakistan
In Pakistan too at 5.14 am, a strong tremors were felt. People came out of their homes as soon as the earthquake was felt. The intensity of the earthquake was 4.5. Earlier on 16 February, earthquake tremors were felt in Pakistan. The epicenter of the earthquake was at that time eight kilometers southeast of Rawalpindi. There is no news of any damage caused by the earthquake.
Earlier, earthquake tremors were also felt in Tibet at 2.48 am on Friday.
Earlier on Friday morning at 2.48 am, earthquake tremors were felt in Tibet and its intensity was 4.1 on the Richter scale. Here too, there was no loss of life and property during this period. The center of this earthquake was at a depth of 70 km from the Earth.
Why and how do earthquakes come?
To understand the earthquake scientifically, we have to understand the structure of the earth. The Earth is located on tectonic plates. Below it is liquid lava and tectonic plates float above it. Sometimes these plates collide together. Sometimes the corners of the plates are twisted due to repeated collision and these plates start to break when there is more pressure. In such a situation, the energy coming from the bottom finds a way out. When it causes disturbances, earthquakes occur.
Richter magnitude scale is from 1 to 9.
The intensity of the earthquake is measured by its center i.e. epicenter. This means that the energy emanating from that center is measured on this scale. 1 means low intensity energy is coming out. 9 means supreme. A very terrible and destructive wave. As they go away, they become weak. If the Richter scale is intensity 7, then there is a rapid earthquake over a range of 40 km around it.
