Let us tell you that experts have already issued a warning regarding the earthquake in Delhi-NCR. Who say that a major earthquake can occur in Delhi-NCR at any time. However, when it will arrive has not been confirmed yet. There are more than 100 long and deep faults beneath Delhi-NCR. Some of these are on the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge, Delhi-Sargodha Ridge and the Great Boundary Fault. Along with these, many active faults are also associated with them.
Why and how do earthquakes occur?
To understand it scientifically, we have to understand the structure of the Earth. The Earth is situated on tectonic plates. Below it is liquid lava and tectonic plates float on it. Many times these plates collide with each other. Due to repeated collisions, sometimes the corners of the plates bend and when there is too much pressure, these plates start breaking. In such a situation, the energy coming from below finds a way out. When this creates a disturbance, it is followed by an earthquake.
