Earlier this month, another earthquake of 4.3 magnitude on the Richter scale occurred in Myanmar. According to the National Center for Sisamology, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 125 km. Such shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deep earthquakes as they leave more energy when the Earth’s surface is close, which causes more land vibrations and causes more damage to structures and casualties, while deep earthquakes lose energy when the deep earthquake comes to the surface.
The National Center for Sisamology reported that a major earthquake of 7.2 magnitude occurred on the Richter scale in Myanmar on Friday. Shocks were felt all over the country. According to the National Center for Sisamology, the center of the earthquake latitude: 21.93 Answer, longitude: 96.07 East was located at a depth of 10 km. The USGS said in a statement that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers at a distance of 16 kilometers (10 mi) in the north-west of Sagiing city around 12:50 pm local time (0620 GMT).
Earthquake tremors were also felt in Bangkok. People were seen running out of their homes and in some videos, people were shown moving while eating food. Local witnesses in Bangkok said that people panicked and fled on the streets and water came out of the swimming pool. Earlier this month, another earthquake of 4.3 magnitude on the Richter scale occurred in Myanmar. According to the National Center for Sisamology, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 125 km. Such shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deep earthquakes as they leave more energy when the Earth’s surface is close, which causes more land vibrations and causes more damage to structures and casualties, while deep earthquakes lose energy when the deep earthquake comes to the surface. Earthquake tremors have been felt in many states including Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh in India. Especially in the northeastern states of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Nagaland, there have been strong tremors.
Although Myanmar is an earthquake-prone country, the official national seismic danger map has not been proposed. Due to the conflict between the Eurasian and the Indo-Australian plates, Myanmar is an area where the seismic danger is at a high level. According to the Earthquake parameters summarized by the International Earthquake Center, there have been about 140 or equal magnitude of Myanmar and its surrounding areas from 1990 to 2019 every year. Thus, it is clear that Myanmar is sensitive to the dangers of medium and large intensity earthquakes, including the hazards of tsunami on its long coastline.
