Earthquake In Mexico: The earth is trembling due to the strong tremors of the earthquake in Mexico, America. According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the intensity of the earthquake in Central Mexico has been recorded at 6.3 on the Richter scale. However, on the basis of initial reports, it is being said that there is no information about any damage in the earthquake-affected areas. According to Indian time, earthquake tremors were felt at around 2 pm on Monday night.
Before this there was an earthquake last month as well
Let us inform that even before this, in the month of May, the earth was shaken by the tremors of the earthquake. On May 25, an earthquake occurred in the Caribbean Sea off the Panama-Colombia border. Its intensity was measured at 6.6 on the Richter scale. No damage was reported in this also. At the same time, on May 18, earthquake tremors were felt in Mexico. At that time its intensity was measured at 6.4. The epicenter of the earthquake was 2 km southeast of the municipality of Canilla, Guatemala.

Know how earthquake comes
Earthquake The main reason for the occurrence of earthquake is the collision of the plates located inside the ground. Explain that there are a total of seven plates inside the ground, which keep rotating continuously. When these plates collide with each other, a fault line zone is formed there and the corners of the surface start turning. Also, due to the cornering of the surface, pressure is created there and because of that the plates start breaking. After they break, an energy is created and it finds a way to come out. Due to this the surface of the earth shakes and this is called earthquake.
earthquake intensity
Explain that earthquakes less than 2.0 on the Richter scale are kept under the micro category and are not felt. Such earthquakes account for 8,000 earthquakes worldwide. Similarly, earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.0 to 2.9 are registered under the Minor category. About 1,000 such earthquakes occur daily and are not even felt. At the same time, earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 to 3.9 are kept in the very light category. It is recorded on the Richter scale about 49,000 times in a year. These tremors are felt but they do not cause harm.
