Myanmar is quite sensitive to earthquake

Explain that Myanmar is quite sensitive to the dangers of earthquake, including the threat of tsunami on its long coastline. Myanmar is located between four tectonic plates (Indian, Eurasian, Sunda and Burma plates), which mutter in active geological processes.

These parts of Myanmar are very sensitive

A change of 1,400 km long passes through Myanmar. The dispersion of Andaman connects the center to the conflict region located in the north, which is called the Sagiing Fault. Sagiing fault has increased earthquake threats to Sagiing, Mandalay, Bago and Yangon, which represents 46 percent of Myanmar’s total population.

When there was an earthquake of 7.0 intensity

However, Yangon is relatively distant from the fault trace, yet due to its dense population, the earthquake is at risk. There was an intense earthquake of 7.0 magnitude in 1903 in Bago, Myanmar, which also affected Yangon. (Input- ani)
