Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: Why Myanmar region is vulnerable to deadly seismic events | Explained
Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: Myanmar's vulnerability to earthquakes stems from the Sagaing Fault, a tectonic boundary between the Indian Plate and the Burma microplate.
With a slip rate of up to 18 mm per year, the fault builds immense pressure, increasing the likelihood of devastating earthquakes.
Past quakes, including the deadly 1946 and 2012 events, highlight the regionās seismic risks.
Myanmar Thailand Earthquake: The collapse of the iconic Ava Bridge and multiple buildings underscores the destructive potential.
As authorities respond, the focus turns to preparedness in this earthquake-prone region.
Myanmar Earthquake: A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, leaving over 1,000 dead and thousands injured. The devastation worsened with a 6.4-magnitude aftershock, causing further destruction. The quake primarily impacted the Sagaing region near Mandalay and was felt in neighboring Thailand. Experts say the earthquake resulted from "strike-slip faulting" along the Sagaing Fault, a major tectonic boundary between the India and Eurasia plates. Rescue operations are underway as countries, including India, China, Russia, and the U.S., send aid.

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar near Meiktila on Sunday, marking one of the strongest aftershocks since the deadly March 28 temblor that killed over 3,600. The quake struck as the country entered its Thingyan holiday, compounding a humanitarian crisis worsened by the earlier 7.7 quake and ongoing civil war. No casualties have been reported so far, but minor damage and panic were reported in Wundwin township. Relief efforts continue amid growing fears of food shortages, health risks, and political suppression of information in quake-hit zones.
