Ladakh is considered sensitive in terms of earthquake
Ladakh is located near the Himalayan Mountains, which is why it is considered a sensitive area in terms of earthquake. Experts say that it is common for small earthquakes to come here, but there is also a risk of major earthquakes. This time the earthquake that has occurred is normal. This time too, the earthquake has measured 3.6 intensity on its Richter scale. Such earthquakes are less likely to damage.
Why do earthquakes come?
There is always upheaval under the surface of the Earth. The plates inside the earth are constantly colliding or moving away. For this reason, earthquakes keep coming. Before understanding the earthquake, we should understand the structure of the plates below the earth. According to experts, there are 12 tactoneic plates in the earth. The energy that comes out when these plates collide, are called earthquakes.
