Hundreds of earthquakes occur on Earth everyday. Most of them are small, barely detectable by most people. But occasionally there is a much more significant quake. On average, a major earthquake—one with a magnitude of 7.0-7.9—strikes somewhere on the planet more than once a month. A great earthquake—with a magnitude of 8.0 or higher—occurs about once a year. An earthquake can happen anywhere. However, the vast majority of earthquakes occur at the boundaries between tectonic plates. Continental and oceanic plates may move toward each other, scrape past each other, or pull apart as they move slowly across the planet's upper mantle. This movement of the plates, and the pressure that is built up at the boundaries, can result in earthquakes. The boundaries between plates contains systems of deep cracks, called faults. Most earthquakes occur along these faults. Within a fault, rock masses on either side of the break are pushed by geologic forces in opposite directions. Friction, however, holds the rocks in place, causing stresses to build. Finally, the mounting pressure overcomes the friction and a sudden movement occurs along the fault, releasing a large amount of energy. This is an earthquake. While the vast majority of earthquakes occur along faults at Earth's plate boundaries, occasionally, a quake occurs in the middle of a plate, far from any boundary. Such quakes make up less than 10 percent of all earthquakes. While these intraplate quakes are not completely understood, ...

June 13 (Reuters) - An earthquake of magnitude 5.4 struck the eastern Kashmir region in India on Tuesday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said. The quake was at a depth of 60 km (37.28 miles) and the epicentre of the quake was at a distance of 99 km north of Pathankot in northern India, the EMSC said. Reuters partner ANI reported that tremors were felt in Indian capital of New Delhi as well as parts of North India. category · June 16, 2023 · 5:38 PM UTC Thailand's caretaker government is proposing to "fully re-engage" Myanmar's military rulers and has invited ASEAN foreign ministers to an informal meeting on Sunday to discuss a stalled peace plan, according to a letter seen by Reuters and sources aware of the invitation. • About Reuters • About Reuters , opens new tab • Careers , opens new tab • Reuters News Agency , opens new tab • Brand Attribution Guidelines , opens new tab • Reuters Leadership , opens new tab • Reuters Fact Check , opens new tab • Reuters Diversity Report , opens new tab Stay Informed • Download the App , opens new tab • Newsletters , opens new tab Information you can trust Reuters, the news and media division of Thomson Reuters, is the world’s largest multimedia news provider, reaching billions of people worldwide every day.
