Earthquake today: In Delhi (Faridabad) had a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale; Earth shook for the third time in two weeks
Earthquake today: Panic spread in Delhi-NCR due to earthquake at 4 pm on Sunday evening. Its effectiveness was 3.1. The epicenter of the earthquake was Faridabad, Haryana. People were in their homes to escape the earthquake, but as soon as they realized the earthquake, they ran away from their homes.
Earthquake tremors have occurred in Delhi for the third time in two weeks. Earlier, on October 3, an earthquake had occurred at many places in North India including Delhi-NCR. Tremors also occurred in Delhi-Haryana on October 2.
On October 3, two weeks ago, earthquake tremors were felt at 2.25 pm and 2.53 pm in parts of Madhya Pradesh including Delhi-NCR, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan. It registered 4.6 on the Richter scale for intensity. It was in the Bajhang district of Nepal.
That day, four earthquakes occurred in Nepal in one hour. An official of the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said that the first earthquake of 4.6 magnitude occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers in western Nepal at 2:25 pm, which was followed by a second earthquake of 6.2 magnitude at 2:51 pm. At 3:06 and 3:19, two further quakes with a magnitude of 3.6 were recorded. In Bajhang, Nepal, many kutcha dwellings collapsed as a result of the earthquake.
The earthquake was felt in Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Noida, Meerut, Moradabad, Ghaziabad, Ayodhya, Aligarh, Hapur, Amroha in Uttar Pradesh, Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, Jaipur and Alwar in Rajasthan.
Why do earthquakes happen?
The earth’s surface is made up of seven large and many small tectonic plates. These plates keep colliding with each other again and again. Due to collision, the corners of the plates bend several times, and due to excessive pressure, these plates break. In such a situation, the energy released from below finds a way out, causing an earthquake.
467 years ago, 8.30 lakh people died in the earthquake that occurred in China.
The worst earthquake occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960. Its intensity was 9.5 on the Richter scale. The subsequent tsunami devastated many countries, including southern Chile, the Hawaiian Islands, eastern New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan, and south-eastern Australia. In this 1655 people died and 3000 were injured. The worst earthquake occurred in China in 1556, in which 8.30 lakh people died.
Earthquake affected places now known
Earlier this year Turkiye was hit by a devastating earthquake, which dropped 10 feet. Numerous thousands of people died. Turkey’s terrain was displaced by around 10 feet (3 meters) by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake. Italian seismologist Carlo Dogliani had made this claim. The world is built on huge tectonic plates. Lava is fluid beneath the plates. These plates keep colliding with each other again and again.
Most of Turkey is built on the Anatolian tectonic plate. The Euroasian, African and Arabian plates have merged into it. Turkey gets stuck like a sandwich as the African and Arabian plates shift. This causes the earth to release energy, which causes earthquakes. An earthquake occurred on the North Anatolian Fault Line in Turkey on Monday.
Earthquake today Delhi
There was an earthquake in Japan in 2011, due to which the earth slipped.
On March 11, 2011, the first earthquake of magnitude 9.1 occurred in Japan. This large earthquake killed numerous people and caused a four to ten inch shift in the earth’s axis. The speed of the Earth’s daily rotation also increased.
At that time, USGS seismologist Paul Earle said that the earthquake had pushed Japan’s largest island, Honshu, about 8 feet east from its current location. More than 160 earthquakes occurred in the first 24 hours. 141 had intensity greater than 5. Around 1,500 people died in Japan as a result of the earthquake and tsunami.
Japan is the area most affected by earthquakes. It is in the Pacific Ring Forest. Several continental and oceanic tectonic plates can be found in the Ring of Fire. When these plates collide, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes occur.
From New Zealand to Japan, Alaska, North and South America, and beyond, the impact of this Ring of Fire can be observed. 90% of earthquakes occur in the Ring of Fire region. This area is 40 thousand kilometers. 75% of the active volcanoes worldwide are in this region. 15 countries are in the grip of this war.
