Earthquake Risk Bangladesh at risk of 9 magnitude earthquake
Dhaka, Sept 19: Bangladesh is one of the most natural disasters in the world. Natural calamities such as cyclones, floods, droughts etc. cause huge damage to our lives, resources and environment every year. Our geographical location is one of the reasons for these disasters. Earthquake has written a new name in this book. Although mild and moderate earthquakes have been felt in recent times, severe earthquakes have occurred in this region. Scientists are expressing fear that a magnitude 9 earthquake may hit Bangladesh in the near future. They asked to prepare for this now.
According to experts, there is a risk of a strong earthquake in the mountainous areas extending from Sylhet to Chittagong in Bangladesh. Along with Bangladesh, India's Manipur, Mizoram, Myanmar's mountainous areas are also at risk. Also, if one imagines a line south through the Haor of Kishoreganj through the Meghna River along the Bay of Bengal and the Andamans, the area is the junction of two tectonic plates. Between these two plates, the Burma plate is located in the east, and the Indian plate is located in the west. The upper part of its confluence i.e. the region starting from Sunamganj east to Manipur, Mizoram is 'locked'. That is, energy is stored here.
How much energy is stored — Experts say there is enough energy stored to cause an earthquake of magnitude 8.2 to 9. This energy can come out at any time. Now it's just a matter of time. Initial signs, there have been 10 mild-moderate earthquakes this year.
So far this year, 10 mild and moderate earthquakes have occurred in the country. Although there is not much loss of life and property, experts are getting a glimpse of a major earthquake. A strong earthquake is likely to occur in the hilly areas extending from Sylhet to Chittagong. Along with Bangladesh, India's Manipur, Mizoram, Myanmar's mountainous areas are also at risk. Also, if one imagines a line south through the Haor of Kishoreganj through the Meghna River along the Bay of Bengal and the Andamans, the area is the junction of two tectonic plates.
