Earthquake in Chile-Myanmar: In recent times, earthquake tremors have been felt in many countries. In this episode, the German Research Center for Geochenses (GFZ) said that on Thursday (April 17), there was a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in North Chile. Apart from this, there has been a 3.9 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.
The GFZ reported that the earthquake center in northern Chile was at a depth of 178 km (110.6 mi). Apart from this, the earthquake in Myanmar came just 10 kilometers below the ground surface, so there is a possibility of feeling shocks even after this. Earlier on Thursday, there was a 4.0 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.
People got scared due to earthquake tremors
As soon as an earthquake in Chile, people ran out of their homes fearfully. People are scared due to continuous earthquake tremors in Myanmar. However, no major loss or casualties have been reported yet.
Such shallow earthquakes are more dangerous because they are very close to the land surface. When the earthquake comes near the surface, more energy comes out, which causes the land to move more and there can be great damage to the buildings. This also increases the risk of people’s life. In comparison, deep earthquakes lose their strength by coming to the surface.
