Earthquake wreaks havoc in Afghanistan,250 killed:Tremors felt in Pakistan too

The land of Afghanistan was shaken by the earthquake on Wednesday. There was an earthquake of 6.1 magnitude. According to disaster management officials, at least 250 people have died in the country due to the earthquake. This figure may increase further. Apart from this, about 150 people are reported to be injured. 

Earlier on Tuesday night, earthquake tremors were felt in Pakistan too. An earthquake of 6.1 magnitude occurred here at 2:24 pm. It is a matter of relief that no loss of life or property has been reported in the earthquake in Pakistan. Apart from this, earthquake tremors were also felt in Malaysia late in the night. The magnitude of the earthquake was 5.1 here.

The main reason for the occurrence of earthquakes is the collision of plates inside the earth. There are seven plates inside the earth which are constantly rotating. When these plates collide at some place, there is a fault line zone and the corners of the surface are twisted. Due to the twisting of the corners of the surface, pressure builds up there and the plates start breaking. Due to the breaking of these plates, the energy inside finds a way out, due to which the earth shakes and we consider it an earthquake.
