Earthquake tremors have been felt in India 948 times in the last 9 months from January to September. Is this a warning of some great danger? When earthquakes have a magnitude of less than 4, they are usually not felt. In the last 9 months, 240 such earthquake tremors were felt in India, which were more than 4 magnitudes. The intensity of the earthquake that hit Nepal last night was also more than 4. Earlier in 2015, more than 10 thousand people died in a devastating earthquake in Nepal.

 

Nepal was the epicenter of the earthquake, the intensity was 6.3

The effects of an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 in Nepal late Tuesday night were felt till the capital of India, Delhi. 6 people lost their lives in Nepal due to the earthquake. The tremors of the earthquake were felt all over North India including Delhi, due to which people started running out of their homes. The National Center for Seismology said that it came at around 1.57 pm last night. The epicenter of the earthquake was Manipur, Nepal.

 

948 earthquakes occurred in India in the last 9 months

There was no loss of life or property due to last night's earthquake in India. Yes, during the tremors of the earthquake, there was an atmosphere of panic among the people and some people even came out of their homes. So far 948 earthquakes have occurred in India in the last 9 months. However, there were 240 earthquake tremors, whose intensity was above 4 on the Richter scale and people felt these. According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), according to the available data, 1090 earthquakes were reported from 152 stations this year. However, only 948 such earthquakes were recorded in these that hit India and its surrounding countries. Let us inform you that this data available with NCS is only from January to September this year.

 

Need to build an Earthquake alarm system

It is estimated that the number of earthquakes in India so far this year may have crossed 1000. From January to September 948 earthquakes i.e. more than 105 earthquake tremors every month. Is this an alarm bell? Experts believe that there is no special danger from low-intensity earthquakes. Yes, if the intensity of the earthquake is high, then it is a matter of concern. So we need to make an alarm system. With this people will get information only a few minutes before the earthquake.

 

Earthquake of 2 high intensity shook the earth in India this year

According to the National Center for Seismology, earthquakes of high intensity are usually rare in India. Talking about the highest intensity earthquake felt in the country this year, one of them is a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in Nepal last night. At the same time, the second was a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in North Sumatra, 431 km from the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. The tremors of this earthquake were felt most in the southern states of India. Apart from this, India had 14 earthquakes of magnitude 5 to 5.9 and 224 earthquakes ranging from 4 to 4.9.

 

If there was an earthquake of above 5 magnitudes in Delhi...!

According to experts, an earthquake of above 5 magnitude shakes the earth up to 500 km in 10 minutes. If the epicenter of an earthquake is in Delhi, it can shake any city 500 km away in 10 minutes. The Indian tectonic plate is continuously moving towards Tibet. This creates tension between the two plates. If this stress is released, then an earthquake occurs.
