According to the National Center for Seismology, an earthquake struck Narayanpet in Telangana at 6:16:46 am. Its magnitude was measured at 2.5 and its epicentre was at a depth of five kilometres below the ground. The epicentre was recorded at 16.452 degrees north latitude and 77.414 degrees east longitude.
In Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, earthquake tremors were recorded at 6:59:46 am. Its magnitude was 3.2 and its epicentre was 15 kilometres below the ground. Its location was recorded at 32.719 degrees north latitude and 76.123 degrees east longitude.
Because the intensity of the earthquakes was low, there is no report of any major damage. After both incidents, the situation in the concerned areas was stated to be normal.
Earthquakes occur due to movement in the Earth’s tectonic plates. When stress accumulated between these plates is suddenly released in the form of energy, vibrations are felt on the Earth’s surface.
