TOI explains: Why Delhi and parts of northern India face earthquakes so often

IndiaTimes Monday, 17 February 2025
An earthquake of 6.0 magnitude with a shallow depth of 5 km jolted Delhi-NCR and parts of northern India early Monday morning. Delhi's vulnerability to seismic activity is due to its geological location near the Indian and Eurasian Plates collision zone and local fault systems. Retrofitting older buildings and improving preparedness are essential to mitigate future damage.

Myanmar Earthquake Kills Over 1,000: Deadly Aftershocks Rock Myanmar| What Is Strike-Slip Faulting?

Myanmar Earthquake: A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, leaving over 1,000 dead and thousands injured. The devastation worsened with a 6.4-magnitude aftershock, causing further destruction. The quake primarily impacted the Sagaing region near Mandalay and was felt in neighboring Thailand. Experts say the earthquake resulted from "strike-slip faulting" along the Sagaing Fault, a major tectonic boundary between the India and Eurasia plates. Rescue operations are underway as countries, including India, China, Russia, and the U.S., send aid. #MyanmarEarthquake #Earthquake #MyanmarQuake #EarthquakeInMyanmar #MyanmarDisaster #ThailandEarthquake #EarthquakeUpdate #SeismicActivity #Tremors #BreakingNews #NaturalDisaster #EarthquakeAlert #MyanmarNews #QuakeToday #DisasterRelief Also Read Bangkok Woman Gives Birth On Street As Chaos Triggered By Massive Earthquake Forces Evacuation | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bangkok-woman-gives-birth-on-street-as-chaos-triggered-by-massive-earthquake-forces-evacuation-wat-4108759.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Speaks To Head Of Quake-Hit Myanmar's Military Junta Chief, Says India Stands In Solidarity :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-speaks-to-head-of-quake-hit-myanmars-military-junta-chief-says-india-stands-in-solidarity-4108663.html?ref=DMDesc India Delivers Relief Materials To Quake-Hit Myanmar Under 'Operation Brahma' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-delivers-relief-materials-to-quake-hit-myanmar-under-operation-brahma-4108605.html?ref=DMDesc
