Earthquake occurred in Haryana recently
On Wednesday-Thursday night, an earthquake occurred in Rohtak, Haryana and on Thursday afternoon, the earthquake in Jhajjar was shocked by the earthquake. The earthquake in Rohtak, Haryana was measured 3.3 and the earthquake in Jhajjar measured 2.5. However, both these earthquakes did not reveal the loss of any kind of life and property.
Why does an earthquake come?
The earthquake comes when the tectonic plates below the Earth’s surface collide, move or separate. The outer layer of the Earth, called crust, is divided into many huge tectonic plates. These plates continue to run at a slow pace. When there is a confrontation, slippery or distance between them, the energy that arises from it comes out in the form of earthquake waves, causing the earth to tremble and earthquake.
There can be many reasons behind the earthquake, such as the speed of tectonic plates, volcanic eruptions, anthropological activities (such as mining or construction of reservoirs), and natural phenomena such as landslides. The strength of the earthquake is measured by the Richter scale or other parameters. This intensity is usually higher around the boundaries of fault lines or plates.
The risk of earthquake in India is especially high in the Himalayas, as there is a conflict of Indian tectonic plate and Eurasian plate. This conflict causes persistent pressure and tension in the geological structure of the Himalayas, increasing seismic activities.
