Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: Why Myanmar region is vulnerable to deadly seismic events | Explained [Video]

Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: Why Myanmar region is vulnerable to deadly seismic events | Explained

Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: Myanmar's vulnerability to earthquakes stems from the Sagaing Fault, a tectonic boundary between the Indian Plate and the Burma microplate. With a slip rate of up to 18 mm per year, the fault builds immense pressure, increasing the likelihood of devastating earthquakes. Past quakes, including the deadly 1946 and 2012 events, highlight the region’s seismic risks. Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: The collapse of the iconic Ava Bridge and multiple buildings underscores the destructive potential. As authorities respond, the focus turns to preparedness in this earthquake-prone region. #MyanmarEarthquake #SagaingFault #SeismicRisk #EarthquakeZone #MyanmarDisaster #SeismicActivity #EarthquakePreparedness #PlateTectonics #FaultLine #MyanmarNews #EarthquakeSafety #NaturalDisaster #GeologyMatters #DisasterResponse #SeismicThreat #SagaingRegion #TectonicPlates #GeologicalHazard #EarthquakeAwareness #DisasterManagement ~ED.102~HT.336~GR.124~
