Know How A Destructive Earthquake Occurs?

The most important and important reason for the occurrence of earthquakes is the collision of major plates located deep inside the earth with each other. There are about seven main plates inside the Earth which keep rotating continuously. As soon as there is a collision of any plate from any corner during the continuous rotation of these seven plates, a default zone is formed there and an additional pressure starts building up due to bending at the corners of the colliding surfaces, due to which The colliding plates start breaking among themselves. Due to the breaking of these plates, the energy collected inside makes way to come out, and the earth starts shaking due to vibration and this causes earthquake.

These Are The Main Intensities Of Earthquake –

• Less than 2.0 on the Richter scale is considered to be a micro category in terms of intensity and earthquakes in the micro category are not felt, that is why more than 8000 earthquakes are recorded on the Richter scale all over the world.
• Earthquake intensity of 2.0 to 2.9 on the Richter scale is kept in the minor category, due to which more than 1000 earthquakes occur every day, but even these tremors cannot be felt.
• Earthquakes in the 3.0 to 3.9 category on the Richter scale are counted in the very light category due to their intensity, due to which more than 49,000 cases are recorded every year, but even after being felt, these tremors do not cause any damage.
• Whereas 4.0 to 4.9 Richter scale is counted in light category. More than 6,200 Richter scale earthquakes are felt across the world in a year. These Richter scale earthquakes certainly shake household items but do not cause any damage.
