Earth shivering in Andhra Pradesh: Strong tremors of earthquake in Hyderabad, intensity measured 4 on Richter scale; No damage reported at the moment

Strong earthquake tremors were felt in Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, on Monday morning. Its intensity is measured at 4.0 on the Richter scale. According to the National Center for Seismology, the earthquake occurred at 5 am. Its epicenter was 156 km south of Hyderabad at a depth of 10 km. No damage has been reported so far from the earthquake.

An earthquake with a magnitude of 6 is dangerous
According to geologists, the real cause of earthquakes is strong movement in tectonic plates. Apart from this, earthquakes are also caused due to meteor impact and volcanic eruption, mine testing and nuclear testing. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 or 3.0 on this scale is mild, while a magnitude of 6 means a strong earthquake.

This is how we estimate the intensity of an earthquake
The intensity of an earthquake is estimated by the energy waves emanating from its epicenter. This wave, which extends for hundreds of kilometers, vibrates. There are cracks in the earth. If the epicenter of the earthquake is at a low depth, then the energy released from it is very close to the surface, causing great destruction.
