Earthquake In The Philippines: Strong Earthquake Tremors Felt

Earthquake in the Philippines: Strong earthquake tremors felt in Manila, magnitude 6.2.

Earthquake tremors have been felt in the Philippines. According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the tremors of the 5.13 earthquake were felt in the capital Manila in the morning.

The magnitude earthquake of 6.2 on the Richter scale frightened everyone. Explain that a magnitude 6.2 earthquake is considered very dangerous.

However, no information about any kind of damage from the earthquake could be found.

Be aware, Typhoon Left caused a lot of havoc in the Philippines a month ago. In this, information about the death of more than 67 people was revealed.

Why does an earthquake occur.

The earth is mainly composed of four layers, the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust and upper mantle are called lithospheres.

This 50-kilometer thick layer is divided into squares, called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates keep moving from their place but when they move too much, an earthquake occurs.

These plates can move from their place, both horizontally and vertically. After this, they find their place and in such a situation one plate falls under the other.

Why do plates collide

Actually, these plants rotate very slowly. In this way, they move 4-5 mm from their place every year.

When a plate moves near another plate, it goes away. In such cases, sometimes they also collide.

What do the earthquake center and intensity mean

The epicenter of the earthquake is the location below which the stirring in the plates emits geological energy. The earthquake vibrates more at this place.

As the frequency of vibration decreases, its effect decreases. However, if there is an earthquake of 7 or more on the Richter scale, then the jolt intensifies in the vicinity of 40 km.

But it also depends on whether the seismic frequency is upward or in scope. If the frequency of vibration is up then the lower area will be affected.

What does earthquake depth mean

Meaning that at what depth the movement has taken place. The greater the depth of an earthquake, the lower its intensity on the surface.

Which earthquakes are dangerous

Earthquakes with a magnitude usually up to 5 on the Richter scale are not dangerous, but it depends on the structure of the area.

An earthquake of magnitude 5 can also be dangerous if the earthquake is on the banks of the river and there are tall buildings built without seismic techniques.

Here’s how to protect

Build a seismic building in a safe place.

Periodically take disaster management training and rehearse.

Make a disaster kit in which radio, essential paper, mobile, torch, matches, candles, slippers, some money, and necessary medicines are kept.

Hold the furniture tightly to maintain balance. Do not use the lift at all.

Stay away from trees and power lines and open space.

Do not go into it after the House collapses.

If you are inside the car, stay in it, do not get out.
