Earthquake tremors felt in Manipur with magnitude of 5.5

On Monday night, tremors were felt in Manipur and parts of Northeast India due to a 5.5 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale. According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the epicentre was 15 kilometres west of Moirang. Tremors were also felt in Guwahati and other parts of Assam.

A few days ago, earthquake tremors were felt in the northeastern state of Manipur.

During that time, according to the National Center for Seismology, an earthquake of magnitude 3.6 on the Richter scale occurred in the morning 43 km east of Ukhrul in Manipur. The earthquake came at a time when people were fast asleep. Despite this, when people felt shaky, many people came out of their homes. No loss of life or property was reported from the earthquake.

The earth is mainly made up of four layers, inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust and upper mantle are called lithospheres. This 50 km thick layer is divided into squares, which are called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates keep moving from their place but when they move too much, an earthquake occurs. These plates can move from their place, both horizontally and vertically.
