Myanmarearthquakecaused by a strike-slip fault rupture along the Sagaing Fault, due to tectonic plate movement between the Indian and Eurasian plates. Seismicactivity can dramatically impact regional groundwater systems. Mechanisms of groundwater reaction to the passage ofseismic waves are poor understood. We explored the responses of natural and natural–anthropogenic aquifers on the East European Platform to earthquakes that... The Earth's crust is made up of separate bits, called plates, that nestle alongside each other. These plates often try to move but are prevented by the friction of rubbing up against an adjoining one. The Latest Earthquakes application supports most recent browsers, view supported browsers. MyanmarEarthquake Collapse Sparks Concern Over Super-Tall Buildings. A powerful earthquake that struck Myanmar recently caused the collapse of a high-rise building, raising concerns about the safety of ultra-tall skyscrapers worldwide. The 7.7 magnitude earthquakecaused damage to buildings in the Thai capital, including the toppling of a skyscraper under construction. Eyewitness video also showed another building’s rooftop pool spilling onto the streets as the quake shook residential buildings across the city. Collapse earthquake: are generally small earthquakes that occur in underground caverns and mines caused by the seismic waves which are produced from the explosion of rock on the surface. Explosion earthquake: Occur due to the detonation of a nuclear or chemical device. Injection well earthquakes tend to be larger and felt more often.
