The 7.5 magnitude earthquake in the north of the South American country of Honduras. This caused a stir in the entire area. But no news of loss of life and property has been revealed. The German Research Center for Geosciences said that GFZ had estimated the earthquake at 6.89 in the initial stages. Later it was reported that the earthquake came at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.21 mi). Its intensity was 7.5. U.S. The tsunami warning system said that the Caribbean Sea and Honduras have been warned of tsunami after the earthquake.

Know why the earthquake comes
The upper surface of the earth is made up of seven tectonic plates. Wherever these plates collide with each other. There is a risk of earthquake. The earthquake occurs when these plates try to enter each other’s area. In such a situation, when these plates collide, rub, climb or get away from each other. Then in such a situation the ground starts moving. This is called earthquake. Apart from this, earthquakes also occur due to meteor effects and volcanic eruption, mine testing and nuclear testing. The intensity of the earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. The earthquake of intensity of 2.0 or 3.0 on this scale is mild, while the intensity of 6 means a powerful earthquake.
