But the question is still why the tremors of earthquake are coming in Pakistan.
Why earthquakes occur again and again in Pakistan
Pakistan is one of the seismic seismic active countries in the world, there are many big faults here, due to which earthquakes often occur here. Sometimes it is quite dangerous. Pakistan genderly overlaps Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. There are some areas of Pakistan, where earthquakes occur more. The region is located on the southern shore of the Eurasian plate at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, federally administered tribal region and Gilgit-Baltistan province of Eurasian plate.
In which zone is Pakistan
Talking about the seismic zone in Pakistan, there are five seismic zones in this country. Keeping in mind the severity of seismic threat, Pakistan is divided into five seismic regions (Zones 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4). Zone 1 is the lowest, and Zone 4 is the most seismic area. This country is located on the border between Eurasian and Indian plates, hence it is the active area for the most earthquake in the world. There are many fault lines here, due to which earthquake occurs. There are many other fault lines in Chaman Fault, Chitral-Hunja Fault, Makran Subdivision Zone, Himalayan Fault System, South-West Pakistan. Therefore, Pakistan is a sensitive area.
