How Does an Earthquake Occur?

The Earth consists of seven large tectonic plates that are constantly in motion. When these plates collide, pressure builds up, leading to tremors along fault lines. Excessive pressure causes the plates to crack, releasing energy.

This released energy is experienced as an earthquake.

On November 15, 2024, a 4.2 magnitude earthquake was also reported in Mehsana, Gujarat. Like most earthquakes, it too resulted from the collision of tectonic plates.

Understanding the Epicenter and Intensity

Epicentre: This is the location directly above the point where tectonic movement releases energy. It experiences the maximum intensity of tremors.

Impact of Intensity: The greater the intensity, the farther its impact is felt. Earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above can cause significant damage within a 40-kilometer radius.
