Fear of winter earthquake

Let us tell you that earthquake is such a natural disaster, about which no prediction can be made. It can wreak havoc in any corner of the earth. The most important cause of earthquakes is the tectonic plate, which keeps flowing over the lava in the earth’s womb. When they collide, an earthquake occurs. According to scientists, there is a process of isostatic adjustment in the icebergs in the Himalayas, due to which a certain weight falls on the Earth. This weight can also increase the speed of earthquake. It has also been found that the Himalayan region is also sensitive because the monsoon drenches the Himalayas with rain every year and increasing its load increases the risk of earthquakes, especially in winter.

Measures to avoid earthquake

-Exercise caution and patience when you feel earthquake tremors.

-If you feel earthquake tremors, first get out of the house and try to go to an open place.

-If the street is very narrow and there are multi-storey buildings on both sides, then there is no benefit in coming out. In such a situation, find a safe place at home.

-If it takes a long time to get out of the house, try hiding in a corner of the room or under some strong furniture.

-You should try not to injure the head as well as other sensitive parts of the body.
