अफगानिस्तान में 6.0 तीव्रता का तेज़ भूकंप, 250 लोगों की मौत, 500 घायल, दिल्ली तक लगे झटके
According to the US Geological Survey, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border late Sunday night. According to the USGS, the epicenter of the earthquake was near Jalalabad in Nangarhar province and its depth was 8 kilometers. The earthquake was so severe that the death toll is constantly increasing. So far 622 people have died and more than 1500 people have been injured in the eastern province of Nangarhar. There has also been heavy damage in many areas.
The earthquake was so strong that its tremors were also felt in many parts of India, especially Delhi-NCR. Apart from this, tremors were also felt in Pakistan. A second earthquake occurred in the same province about 20 minutes later, with a magnitude of 4.5 and a depth of 10 kilometers. It came at 11:47 pm local time on Sunday.
6.3 magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan
On October 7, 2023, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan, followed by strong tremors. The Taliban government estimates that at least 4,000 people were killed. The United Nations had given a very low number of deaths, around 1,500. This was the deadliest natural disaster to hit Afghanistan in recent times.
Earthquake for the fifth time in a month
Let us tell you that this is the fifth earthquake in Afghanistan in the last one month. This country is sensitive to earthquakes. In such a situation, earthquakes keep happening here often. Earlier, there was an earthquake of 5.4 magnitude on August 27, 4.9 magnitude on August 17, 4.2 magnitude on August 13 at a depth of 10 kilometers. Earlier on August 8, an earthquake of 4.3 magnitude occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.
How is the intensity of an earthquake measured?
Earthquakes are tested on the Richter scale. It is called the Richter Magnitude Test Scale. On the Richter scale, earthquakes are measured on the basis of 1 to 9. It is measured from its center i.e. epicenter. The intensity of the energy released from within the earth during an earthquake is measured by this. The intensity of the earthquake is estimated by this intensity.
