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.

U.S Trade War: Russia Won’t Beg U.S. to Lift Sanctions as Trade Falls 95% Since Peak Says Lavrov

U.S Trade War: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that Moscow won’t chase the U.S. for sanctions relief, despite bilateral trade plunging 95% from its peak a decade ago. Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying they’ve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russia’s pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence. Former President Trump recently extended U.S. sanctions, citing national security concerns, while hinting at potential relief tied to the Black Sea Grain Initiative. #RussiaUSRelations #Lavrov #Sanctions #TradeWar #GlobalEconomy #RussiaSanctions #BidenPolicy #Trump #UkraineWar #ForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #RussiaChina #IndiaTrade #GlobalSouth #EconomicShift #Moscow #USSanctions #Putin #BlackSeaGrainDeal #Eurasia Also Read MEA Engages with US Authorities to Clarify Sanctions on Indian Entities Amid Ongoing Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/in-touch-with-us-authorities-sanctions-indian-entities-011-3976289.html?ref=DMDesc Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic Thanks Putin for Gas Supplies and Rejects Sanctions Against Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/serbia-president-thanks-putin-gas-supplies-sanctions-011-3965597.html?ref=DMDesc Former Trump Adviser Charged for Work with Sanctioned Russian Network :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-charges-dimitri-simes-for-russian-tv-work-sanctions-011-3926945.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.346~

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
