Maps: 7.7 earthquake leaks

According to the geological survey of the United States of America, a large earthquake, 7.7 temperatures in Myanmar on Friday. At a depth of about six miles, the earthquake was relatively shallow, which made it likely to cause violent vibration.

Temblor happened at 12:50 pm Myanmar time, about 10 miles northwest of Sagaing, Myanmar, data from the agency’s offers.

Junta Myanmar has again and again Close the InternetIt holds efforts to determine the full range of damage. But the modeling of the United States’s geological survey is estimated that the number of deaths is likely to be that Over 1000And it can be much higher.

Earthquakes of this size are rare on the mainland in Southeast Asia. Only three albumin of 7.7 or more have been hit or near Myanmar in the last century, according to the USGs database.

Wireless tremors in the region

Earthquakes and final tremors 100 miles

The final tremor is usually a smaller earthquake that follows one larger in the same public region. The final tremors are usually simple adjustments along the part of the error that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

Final tremors can occur days, weeks, or even years of the first earthquake. These events can be equal or larger in the initial earthquake, and can continue to influence already damaged sites.

When earthquakes and subsequent tremors occurred

Source: United State Geological Survey | Notes: The shake categories depend on Mercalli intensity modification size. When the final tremors are available, the maps and the corresponding plans include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial earthquake. At all times the above time is Myanmar. Discounts are from Friday, March 28, at 2:39 am East. The final tremors are from Friday, March 28, 11:22 am East.
