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.

Afghanistan Earthquake: Earthquake tremors were felt in Afghanistan on Sunday (2025 of June 8) in the morning. According to the National Center for Sisamology, the intensity of the earthquake on the Richter scale was measured 3.8. The center of the earthquake is being told 10 km inside the ground, which could have proved to be quite dangerous.

According to NCS, the intensity of the earthquake in Afghanistan on 8 June was 3.8 magnitude. Even though its intensity is low, its center was so on the upper surface that it caused a big danger to buildings.

Eq of M: 3.8, on: 08/06/2025 07:53:19 IST, Lat: 36.61 n, long: 71.36 e, depth: 10 km, location: Afghanistan.

Why do earthquakes occur in Afghanistan?

The Hindu Kush mountain range, which extends in the north-eastern region of Afghanistan. It is considered a tectonic terms highly active area. This area is the center of conflict of Indian and Eurasian plates. Due to the frequent mutual contact and conflict of these plates, geological tension arises here which eventually comes in the form of earthquake. According to the reports of Red Cross, there are hundreds of seismic incidents in these areas of Afghanistan every year. Such areas have a dense net of fault lines, which is a cause of concern for the future.

Herat fault line of Afghanistan is considered particularly sensitive. This line passes through the western part of Afghanistan and has historically given birth to many major earthquakes. This fault line explains the boundaries between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. Geologists believe that whenever the pressure between these plates reaches its peak, that energy is freed through a fault line – which shakes the land surface.
