Srinagar: The tremors have been felt in Poonch and Rajouri districts of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. According to the information, there has been no loss of life or property so far. Earlier on June 14, tremors were felt in several districts of the state. The epicentre of the earthquake was in Afghanistan-Tajikistan and the magnitude was recorded at 5.1.

At the same time, if we talk about the whole country, there were some earthquakes last month also. Tremors were felt in Himachal Pradesh (3.5 intensity), Arunachal Pradesh (4.2 intensity). Let us know that there are 7 plates inside the earth, which are constantly rotating. The places where these plates collide more are called fault line zones. The corners of the plates are twisted due to repeated collisions. When the pressure starts to become high, the plates start breaking down. Due to their breakdown, the energy inside finds a way to come out. After this disturbance comes the earthquake.

Earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or more on the Richter scale are considered more dangerous than usual. At this level, an earthquake of magnitude 2 or less is called a micro-earthquake, which is mostly not felt at all. At the same time,  an earthquake of magnitude 4.5 can damage homes.
