म्यांमार और थाईलैंड के बाद अब इस देश में भयंकर भूकंप, 24 घंटे में दूसरी बार डोली धरती, जानें कैसे हैं हालात

Earthquake in tonga: The 6.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in Tonga Island on Sunday (March 30). This was the second earthquake of the same day. The depth of the earthquake was 10 kilometers.

The National Center for Sisamology (NCS) gave information in a post on X. He wrote, ‘Earthquake intensity: 6.1, date: 30 March 2025, Time: 20:34:58 IST, Location: Tonga Island, Latitude: 20.37 ° S, Longon: 174.16 ° W, Depth: 10 km.’

Earthquake came earlier also

Earlier on the same day, another major earthquake of 7.0 magnitude occurred in the Tonga Islands. According to the National Center for Sisamology (NCS), the earthquake came at a shallow depth of 10 km. Giving information in a post on X, NCS wrote, ‘Earthquake intensity: 7.0, date: 30 March 2025, time: 17:48:48 IST, Location: Tonga Island, Latitude: 20.06 ° S, Longing: 174.04 ° W, Depth: 10 km’

Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous

Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deep earthquakes because they are close to the surface of the Earth and release more energy. This makes the land move more, which increases the risk of loss of buildings and loss of life and property. At the same time, when deep earthquakes reach the surface, their energy decreases significantly.

About 200 earthquakes occur every year

Tonga trench is the place where Pacific and Australian plates are found. Due to the movement of these plates, it has become one of the most earthquakes in the world. Every year there are about 200 earthquakes around Tonga.

Most of these earthquakes are very small, but large earthquakes occur once every ten years. Very large earthquakes (great earthquakes) with 7 or more magnitude occur once in a hundred years. The effect of these earthquakes can be felt in other parts of the world many times. The energy released from the buzz is measured like sound waves, which is measured by a devometer.
