Earth shivering in Rajasthan: Strong earthquake tremors in Bikaner, magnitude of 5.3 on Richter scale; Earth shivering in Meghalaya and Ladakh

Strong earthquake tremors were felt in Bikaner, Rajasthan on Wednesday morning. Its intensity is measured at 5.3 on the Richter scale. According to the National Center for Seismology, the earthquake occurred at 5:24 am. Its epicenter was 343 km west-north-west of Bikaner at a depth of 10 km. No damage has been reported from the earthquake so far.

Earthquake tremors in Meghalaya too

Earthquake tremors were also felt in Meghalaya before Rajasthan. This earthquake occurred at 2:10 pm. The epicenter of the earthquake has been reported as West Garo Hills. However, there is no news of any damage here.

3.6 magnitude earthquake strikes Leh-Ladakh

Here, earthquake tremors were felt in Leh Ladakh at 4:57 am. The magnitude of the earthquake was measured at 3.6 on the Richter scale. That is, before Rajasthan, the earth is trembling in Meghalaya and Leh-Ladakh too. However, there is no news of any damage here.

6 magnitude earthquake dangerous

According to geologists, the real reason for the earthquake is the strong movement in the tectonic plates. Apart from this, earthquakes are also caused by meteor impacts and volcanic eruptions, mine tests and nuclear tests. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. An earthquake with a magnitude of 2.0 or 3.0 on this scale is mild, while a magnitude of 6 means a strong earthquake.

This is how we estimate the intensity of an earthquake

The intensity of an earthquake is estimated by the energy waves emanating from its epicenter. This wave, which spreads for hundreds of kilometers, vibrates. There are cracks in the earth. If the epicenter of an earthquake is at a low depth, the energy released from it is very close to the surface, causing massive destruction.
