Earthquake in myanmar: On Friday (March 28) in Myanmar, the earth was drowned by hundreds of lives. Many areas of the country came under earthquake. The death toll has crossed one thousand, while the number of seriously injured people is also two and a half thousand. Hundreds of lives are still missing. In such a situation, it is feared that the death toll may cross the 10,000 mark.
Along with Myanmar, the land of Thailand was also shivering. However, there was not much loss of life there. There is information about the death of 10 people in Thailand. The earthquake saw terrible damage in the capital Bangkok. Gaganchumbhi buildings were seen to be dumped, which has created a possibility of their weakening. A large building under construction was also seen falling.
However, relief and rescue operations are going on in Myanmar. The bodies are coming out of the debris spread around. Countries around the world are sending relief materials. The Government of India has also sent 15 tonnes of relief material. There is also a big thing that even after this earthquake, there are many shocks back to back in Myanmar.
15 earthquakes within 10 hours
According to the US Geological Survey, a total of 15 earthquakes occurred in Myanmar within 10 hours on Friday. The first earthquake was of 7.7 intensity, which is given above the description of the catastrophe. Even after this, earthquakes of low and high intensity continued to occur. An earthquake also occurred of 6.4 magnitude. In such a situation, the people of Myanmar are currently living in the shadow of fear. However, this is not the first time when there were so many earthquakes in Myanmar. There is a long history of earthquake here.
Why do I come to Myanmar so much earthquake?
Myanmar is located on the border between two tectonic plates. This is called the saging area. Myanmar is one of the most seismically active countries in the world. However, large and disastrous earthquakes are rarely seen in the saging area.
Professor and earthquake expert Joanna Fore Walker at University College London told in a conversation with Reuters, ‘India plate and eurasia plates run in different directions. One north and the other south. It passes through the middle of Myanmar. The plates pass through each other horizontally at different speeds. This causes “strike slip” earthquakes which are usually less powerful than earthquakes in areas like Sumatra, where one plate slips under the other.
Why was Friday’s earthquake so devastating?
British geologist Roger Musus told Reuters that the low depth of the earthquake means that the loss would be more serious. The center of earthquake in Myanmar was at a depth of just 10 km. That is why the loss was more. He said, ‘Shockwaves are not destroyed when the earthquake is a center from the center of the earthquake to the surface. In such a situation, the buildings have to face the strength of shaking. This is what happened in Myanmar.
