Earthquake in Afghanistan: Earthquake tremors were felt on Saturday (August 2) in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan. According to the European Mediterranean Earthquake Science Center (EMSC), the intensity of the earthquake was measured 5.5. The center of the earthquake was located at a depth of 114 km (about 70.84 mi) from the ground. So far, information about the loss of any life and property has not been revealed.

The sequence of earthquakes in Afghanistan is not taking the name of stopping. According to the National Earthquake Science Center (NCS), earthquake tremors have been felt four times in the country within the last one week (1-7 days). The United Nations Office (UNOCHA) has expressed deep concern over this for the coordination of human affairs. The office said that Afghanistan remains highly sensitive to natural disasters such as earthquakes, seasonal floods and landslides.

Heavy disasters on weak communities

According to UNOCHA, repeated earthquakes in the country are affecting weak communities the most. The ability to deal with disasters in these areas, which has been struggling with struggle and underdevelopment for decades, is very limited. Social and geographical location in many areas is so complex that one after another affects rehabilitation and relief operations.

Hindu Kush region is geographically active
According to the Red Cross, the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan is highly active, where powerful earthquakes occur every year. Afghanistan is located between Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates and has many corruption lines. One of these corruption line passes directly through Harat province, which is considered a major center of seismic activities.

There is no confirmation of loss at the moment
There is no confirmation of any casualties or major damage in recent earthquakes. However, the situation is being monitored by the concerned agencies and detailed information is being awaited.

Earthquke in Telangana: Komaram Bhima Asifabad district of Telangana caused a 3.8 magnitude earthquake on Monday. The National Earthquake Science Center gave this information. The Center said the tremors of the earthquake were felt at 6:50 pm. According to official sources, there is no news of loss of life and property due to earthquake. Meanwhile, around 6.47 pm, residents felt mild tremors for a few seconds at various places in the city of Karimnagar. Some residents claimed that the earth moved with a loud voice and at that time the city received rain with strong winds.

A Karimnagar official said that he has no official information about the earthquake in Karimnagar. The media reports said that in some parts of the Nirmal and Manchurial districts of the state, light tremors were felt for a few seconds. According to the National Center for Sisamology, the center of earthquake was 10 km below the earth. However, due to this, no immediate report of any kind of damage or injuries has been received.

Earthquake shock was also felt in Pakistan
India was the third country to hit the earthquake on Monday. Earlier in the day, a 4.2 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Pakistan at 4 pm. According to NCS, its center was 10 km below the earth. However, in this too, no information has been received about any casualty or property loss. Such mild earthquakes can be more dangerous because they release energy close to the surface of the Earth, which often trembles the ground.

Earthquake in Taiwan
Another incident caused an earthquake of 5.9 magnitude on the east coast of Taiwan. According to Taiwan’s meteorological administration, the earthquake came at a depth of 6.6 km, about 30 km from the beach. The earthquake shook the buildings in the capital Taipei, but no immediate report or injury was reported. Please tell that Taiwan is located near two tectonic plates. Due to this, there is frequent seismic activity in Taiwan.

Earthquake in Gujarat: On the night of 22 April, earthquake tremors were felt in Kachchh in Gujarat, causing an atmosphere of fear in the area. According to the National Center for Sisamology (NCS), a 4.3 magnitude earthquake occurred on the Richter scale at 11:26 pm (Indian time).

According to the locals, as soon as the earthquake was felt, people came out of their homes and came out of their homes. However, detailed information about the center and depth of the earthquake has not yet been received. The administration has started monitoring the situation, and emergency services have been kept on alert.

Earthquake tremors also felt 2 hours ago
Two hours before the earthquake, the National Center for Seasmans informed X that on April 22 at 9:56 pm (IST) Afghanistan (Afghanistan) also had a 4.3 magnitude earthquake. Subsequently, on 22 April, a magnitude of 4.0 was also felt in Myanmar.

On the same day, the earthquake of earthquake in Tajikistan and Tibbet also felt the earthquake of 4.1 in Tajikistan shook the area, while Tibet caused a 4.0 magnitude earthquake. Being a Tajikistan mountainous country, it is more affected by natural disasters like earthquake, flood, drought and avalanche.

The process of feeling of earthquake in various parts of the Earth continued. A 5.2 magnitude earthquake occurred on the southeastern coast of Australia, while some earthquakes were also felt on the East of Alaska.

Why do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are mainly caused by the activities of the Earth’s tectonic plates. The upper layer of the Earth is divided into many plates which continue to move slowly. When these plates collide with each other or move under each other, there is pressure there, which comes out in the form of a seismic shock. Additionally, stress stored on the ground cracks can also cause earthquakes. In some cases volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes, which are called ‘volcanic earthquakes’.
