Earthquake tremors felt in four countries within 3 hours, Nepal-Tibet, India and Pakistan shook

New Delhi. Earthquake tremors have been felt once again in four countries including India. Within three hours, strong tremors of earthquake were felt in many areas of India, Nepal, Tibet and Pakistan. In India, people of Patna felt strong tremors at 2.35 am, after which people came out of their houses. Its intensity was recorded at 5.5 on the Richter scale.

According to the National Center for Seismology, earthquake tremors were also felt in Nepal’s Bagmati province at around 2.35 am. Nepal’s Bagmati province lies 189 km north of Muzaffarpur in Bihar. There is no information about any loss of life or property in this earthquake so far. These tremors were felt not only in Nepal but also in neighboring country Tibet.

Earth shook in Pakistan
At the same time, strong tremors of earthquake were felt in Pakistan at 5:14 am. People came out of their houses as soon as they felt the tremors. The intensity of the earthquake was 4.5. Earlier on February 16, earthquake tremors were felt in Pakistan. Then the epicenter of the earthquake was eight kilometers south east of Rawalpindi. There is no news of any kind of damage due to the earthquake tremors.

Earlier on Friday morning at 2.48 am, earthquake tremors were felt in Tibet and its intensity on the Richter scale was 4.1. Here also there was no loss of life and property during this time. The epicenter of this earthquake was at a depth of 70 kilometers from the earth.

Why and how does an earthquake occur?
To understand scientifically, we have to understand the structure of the earth. The earth is located on tectonic plates. There is liquid lava beneath it and tectonic plates float on it. Many times these plates collide with each other. Due to repeated collisions, the corners of the plates often bend and due to excessive pressure, these plates start breaking. In such a situation, the energy coming out from below finds a way to come out. When this creates a disturbance, then an earthquake occurs.

Richter magnitude scale is from 1 to 9. The intensity of an earthquake is measured from its center i.e. the epicenter. That is, the energy coming out from that center is measured on this scale. 1 means low intensity energy is coming out. 9 means the highest. Extremely frightening and destructive wave. These get weaker as they move away. If the intensity is seen as 7 on the Richter scale, then there is a strong tremor in the radius of 40 kilometers around it.
