Light tremors were felt in Tibet on Saturday (September 13) in the morning. According to the Indian National Earthquake Science Center (NCS), the earthquake occurred at 4.57 am. People came out of their homes after the earthquake. However, no information about any major loss has been revealed so far.

The intensity of the earthquake measured 3.1 on the Richter scale. Its center was located at 27.93 ° N latitude in Tibet and 87.27 ° E longitude. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km. The Himalayas and the Tibet region are geological terms seismically active zone. From time to time, light to moderate intensity earthquakes keep coming here.

Why does an earthquake come?

The biggest cause of earthquake is tectonic plates present below the Earth’s surface. The outer layer of the earth is divided into many large plates, which continue to be dull from their place. When these plates collide together, climb on top of each other or suddenly slide at some place, a large amount of energy comes out. This energy spreads outside as seismic waves and we feel shaking the earth. Apart from this, volcanic eruptions, explosions in underground mines or cracks inside the earth can also cause earthquakes.

These precautions can be avoided during earthquake

Earthquake tremors can come anytime and anywhere, in such a situation, vigilance and caution is the biggest defense. The earthquake should not be nervous first. The people inside the building immediately go under the strong table or bed and cover the head and body and stay away from the doors and winds. Do not use the lift and resort to the stairs to reach the safe place.

If you are out at the time of earthquake, then stand away from buildings, electric poles, bridges and big trees and stand in an open space. At the same time, the people driving the vehicle are advised to stop the car immediately, but do not stop under the bridge or overbridge.

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.
