Why is there earthquake now?
According to geologists, the real cause of earthquakes is the rapid movement of tectonic plates. Apart from this, earthquakes also occur due to meteor impact and volcanic eruptions, mine testing and nuclear testing. The intensity of earthquakes is measured on the Richter scale. On this scale, a magnitude of 2.0 to 3.0 is considered a mild earthquake, while a magnitude of 6 is a strong earthquake.
What is the magnitude of the earthquake?
The intensity of an earthquake is estimated from the energy waves emanating from its center (epicenter). This wave spreads over hundreds of kilometers. There are cracks in the earth. If the center of the earthquake is at a shallow depth, the energy released from it is very close to the surface, causing great destruction.
