There are a total of 7 big tectonic plates under the surface of the earth, which keep sliding and colliding. When these plates collide with each other or tension is generated in them, that energy is felt on the surface in the form of an earthquake. This damages houses and increases the risk of loss of life.

59 percent of the area of India falls in earthquake prone zone

Talking about India, about 59 percent of the country falls in earthquake prone areas. Geologists have divided India into four earthquake zones—Zone-2, Zone-3, Zone-4 and Zone-5. Among these, Zone-5 is considered the most sensitive.

The national capital Delhi falls in Zone-4, where there is a possibility of earthquakes of magnitude 7 or more. In such a situation, alertness and awareness are the biggest means of protection.
