Apart from Delhi, earthquake tremors were felt in these states also, earth shook till Jaipur; Center was in Nepal
Earthquake: Strong earthquake tremors were felt in many areas of North India including Delhi-NCR on Tuesday. According to the National Seismology Centre, the intensity of the earthquake has been measured at 6.2 on the Richter scale. According to the information, the epicenter of this earthquake is said to be Nepal.
Strong earthquake tremors were felt in many areas of North India including Delhi-NCR on Tuesday. According to the National Seismology Centre, the intensity of the earthquake was measured at 6.2 on the Richter scale. According to the information, the epicenter of this earthquake is said to be Nepal.
The National Center for Seismology said on Tuesday that two earthquakes of magnitude 4.6 and 6.2 were felt in Nepal at an interval of 25 minutes. Due to this tremor, the earth trembled in Delhi-NCR and some parts of North India also.
An official said that the first tremor was felt at 2.25 minutes, the intensity of which was measured at 4.6. At the same time, a second shock of 6.2 magnitude was felt in the Himalayan nation at 2:51 p.m.
People in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) felt strong tremors after the second earthquake and came out of their offices and high-rise buildings. Delhi Police has appealed to the people not to panic. A post shared by Delhi Police on social media Dial 112 for."
Earthquake tremors have been felt in many states of North India. The earth is trembling in the surrounding cities including Delhi, Noida, Faridabad, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad. Along with this, people have also felt earthquake tremors in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan.
The German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) said that an earthquake of 5.6 magnitude occurred in Nepal on Tuesday. The GFZ said the earthquake was at a depth of 10 km (6.2 mi).
It is known that the place just below where geological energy is released due to movement in the plates is called the epicenter of the earthquake. Actually, earthquake vibration is very high at this place. As it spreads, its intensity reduces. According to the information, if there is an earthquake with an intensity of 7 or more on the Richter scale, then the shock is strong in the surrounding radius of 40 km, but it also depends on whether the seismic frequency is upward or downwards. It's in me only. If the frequency of vibration is higher then less area is affected.
When and how much devastation does an earthquake bring?
| Richter | Scale Bearing |
| 0 to 1.9 | Can be detected only through a seismograph. |
| 2 to 2.9 | Mild tremor |
| 3 to 3.9 | There is an effect like if a truck passes near you. |
| 4 to 4.9 | Windows may be broken. Frames hanging on the walls may fall. |
| 5 to 5.9 | Furniture may move. |
| 6 to 6.9 | The foundations of buildings may crack. Upper floors may be damaged. |
| 7 to 7.9 | Buildings collapse. Pipes burst underground. |
| 8 to 8.9 | Buildings and large bridges also collapse. There is a danger of a tsunami. |
| 9+ | If someone above him stands in the field, he will see the entire earth swaying. |
Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale, which is also called the Richter Magnitude Test Scale. Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale from 1 to 9. An earthquake is measured from its center i.e. epicenter. The intensity of the energy released from within the earth during an earthquake is measured and then the magnitude of the earthquake is estimated.
