00:00In Myanmar, today, on Friday, the earth quaked with the powerful earthquakes of the earthquake.
00:08These earthquakes were so powerful that they were felt in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok.
00:13And the intensity of the earthquake on the Richter scale was 7.7.
00:18The epicenter of the earthquake was in Sagaing, Myanmar, and due to the earthquake,
00:23the popular Aewa Bridge was built on the Irrawaddy River in Mandalay, Myanmar.
00:28It is said that earthquakes have been felt in some parts of China and Taiwan as well.
00:33Many videos are going viral on social media, in which skyscrapers can be seen shaking due to earthquakes,
00:40and many buildings have collapsed.
00:42Now, if we talk about what is the reason behind the earthquake,
00:46then let me tell you that there are 60 tectonic plates in the earth.
00:50These plates keep rotating continuously.
00:52When these plates collide with each other, rub against each other, or move away from each other,
00:58then the earth starts to shake.
01:00This is called an earthquake.
01:01And to measure the earthquake, Richter scale is used, which is called Richter magnitude scale.
01:08Richter magnitude scale is from 1 to 9, and the intensity of the earthquake is measured from its epicenter.
01:16That is, the energy coming out of that epicenter is measured on this scale.
01:211 means less intensity energy is coming out, and 9 means the most.
01:26It is a very dangerous and destructive wave, and it weakens as it goes away.
01:31If the intensity is 7 on the Richter scale, then there is a sharp shock in the area of 40 km around it.
01:39Now, if you talk about how intense and how dangerous it is,
01:42then how dangerous an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale.
01:46In an earthquake, each scale on the Richter scale is 10 times more dangerous than the previous scale.
01:52The location of an earthquake with an intensity of 0 to 1.9 can be found only from seismographs.
01:58An earthquake with an intensity of 2 to 2.9 is slightly less.
02:03On the other hand, an earthquake with an intensity of 3 to 3.9 seems as if a truck has passed by.
02:09On the other hand, if you look at an earthquake with an intensity of 4 to 4.9,
02:12the windows break, the walls break, and the frames can fall.
02:16In an earthquake with an intensity of 5 to 5.9, the furniture of the house can shake.
02:21In an earthquake with an intensity of 6 to 6.9, the foundation of the buildings can crack and damage the upper floors.
02:28In an earthquake with an intensity of 7 to 7.9, the buildings collapse and the pipeline bursts in the ground.
02:35In an earthquake with an intensity of 8 to 8.9, large bridges can also fall along with the buildings.
02:40In an earthquake with an intensity of more than 9.0, there is a lot of destruction.
02:45If someone is standing in the field, he will see the earth moving.
02:49And if the sea is close, a tsunami can also come.
