Three consecutive earthquakes of 4.5 magnitudes jolt Myanmar.

Myanmar earthquake: At roughly 05:43 within the morning, Myanmar was shaken by a tremor with an epicentre 174 km south-southeast of Yangon.

Myanmar earthquake: At midnight on June 21 and within the early hours of June 22, Myanmar, a neighbour nation of India, had three consecutive tremors of magnitude greater than 4. Three hours after the second earthquake, which occurred at roughly 2.53 am IST, a 3rd earthquake with a magnitude of above 4.5 struck the nation. The Nationwide Centre for Seismology (NCS) reported {that a} 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck Yangon, Myanmar, on Thursday.

The third earthquake struck Myanmar.

The earthquake, which had a 48 Km depth, occurred at 05:43:00 IST, in keeping with the NCS. “Earthquake of Magnitude:4.5, Occurred on 22-06-2023, 05:43:00 IST, Lat: 15.32 & Lengthy: 96.56, Depth: 48 Km, Location: 174km SSE of Yangon, Myanmar,” was acknowledged in a tweet by NCS.

2.52 a.m. noticed a second tremor 

Earlier, at 02:52:08 IST, a second earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 was noticed at a depth of 10 Km. A tweet posted by the NCS learn, “Earthquake of Magnitude:4.2, Occurred on 22-06-2023, 02:52:08 IST, Lat: 15.40 & Lengthy: 96.19, Depth: 10 Km, Location: 160 km S of Yangon, Myanmar.”

At 23:56, the primary tremor was famous.

At 23:56:23 IST, Yangon, Myanmar, was hit by the primary one. “Earthquake of Magnitude:4.4, Occurred on 21-06-2023, 23:56:23 IST, Lat: 14.83 & Lengthy: 96.56, Depth: 25 Km, Location: 227km S of Yangon, Myanmar,” the NCS acknowledged in a tweet. No casualties have been reported but as of now, however additional updates are awaited. 

Earlier Month:

On Could 22, 2023, round 8:15 am, the Nationwide Centre for Seismology reported that an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.5 had struck Myanmar.  The earthquake occurred at a depth of 14 km, in keeping with the NCS. It was the second earthquake that month, the primary having occurred on Could 2.  Within the months of Could and June, there have been a complete of 5 earthquakes. 

Because of its location in a big seismic area, Myanmar is, the truth is, earthquake-prone and prone to dangers from reasonable to huge earthquakes, together with tsunami threats alongside its in depth shoreline areas. In accordance with the seismotectonic of the realm, nearly all of the earthquakes which have occurred in Myanmar have began alongside lively subduction zones, such because the Andaman Megathrust Zone within the west and the Sagaing Fault Zone within the nation’s centre.

For the next-generation seismic zone map of Myanmar to be absolutely useful and included within the Constructing Code, technical development is required, which in flip necessitates research and discoveries relating to the tectonics of Myanmar.

Listed key phrases:

Richter Scale: The preferred scale used to quantify earthquakes is the Richter magnitude scale, typically often called the Richter scale. It was created in 1935 as a mathematical device to match earthquake measurement by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Know-how. The quantity of vitality that’s launched when an earthquake happens is measured by deploying the Richter scale.

Seismology: The scientific research of earthquakes and associated occasions like volcanic eruptions is called seismology. Earth’s crust which is made up of tectonic plates, shifts throughout an earthquake which in flip releases vitality within the type of waves.
