According to the NCS, earthquakes occur at shallow depths of 10 kilometers, making them susceptible to aftershocks.
A statement from the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said the magnitude of the earthquake on Monday was 5.7. According to the NCS, earthquakes occur at shallow depths of 10 kilometers, making them susceptible to aftershocks. In an article on X, NCS said: “The equation of M:5.7, opening: 12/05/2025 02:41:24 IST, LAT: 29.02 N, Long: 87.48 E, Depth: 10 km, Location, Location: Tibet: Tibet.”
Earlier on May 8, an earthquake of 3.7 shocked the area. In an article on X, NCS said: “M: 3.7, on: 08/05/2025 20:18:41 IST, LAT: 29.20 n, long: 87.02 E, depth: 10 km, location, location: Tibet.”
Shallow earthquakes like this are more dangerous than deeper earthquakes because they have greater energy and are close to the Earth’s surface. This causes ground to shake and increases damage to structure and casualties compared to deeper earthquakes that lose energy as they head to the ground.
Tibetan people are famous for their high causes due to the collision of structural plates. Tibet and Nepal are located on a major geological fault line, and the Indian tectonic plate will push upward into the Eurasian plate, so earthquakes occur frequently. According to Al Jazeera, the area is seismically active, resulting in tectonic uplifts that can be enhanced strong enough to change the height of the Himalayan peaks.
Seismologist and geophysicist Marianne Karplus told Al Jazeera that education on earthquakes and seismic buildings combined with funds for transformation and resilient structures can help protect people and buildings. ”
“The Earth’s system is very complex and we cannot predict earthquakes. However, we can do scientific research to better understand the causes of the Tibet earthquake and better understand the vibrations and effects caused by earthquakes,” Karplus, a professor of geological sciences at the University of Texas, told Al Jazeera.
