Russia's Massive Earthquake Fulfills Baba Vanga's Prophecy—Will Its Ripple Effect Reach India's Shores?

Russia Earthquake Tsunami: In 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck Japan, which caused a massive tsunami. This caused loss of life and property in about 20 countries across the world. Now only time will tell how much destruction an earthquake of magnitude 8.8 will cause in Russia. Let us understand the game behind the earthquake.

A massive earthquake has struck Russia. This is the most dangerous one, whose intensity is being reported to be 8.7-8.8 on the Richter scale. This earthquake in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has triggered a tsunami warning from the US to Japan. US-Russia also have nuclear bases in Alaska and Kamchatka Peninsula. The Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan has been evacuated. If a tsunami strikes Japan, then obviously its effect will be felt in India's Andaman-Nicobar Islands as well. An earthquake had also struck this region a day earlier. This earthquake reminds me of the terrifying prediction of Bulgaria's prophet Baba Vanga, in which she had said that between 2025-2026 the earth will shake and people will have to face natural disasters like floods and a massive earthquake can lead to destruction i.e. the great deluge. Baba Vanga had also predicted a terrible earthquake and a major military conflict in Europe. Let us know and understand the game of the Tridevs behind the massive earthquake.

The first severe earthquake in the world occurred in 1952

According to the USGS, earthquake is a very dangerous natural disaster. It has caused a lot of damage around the world. In 1960, a magnitude 9.5 earthquake struck Biobío, Chile. It is also called the Valdivia earthquake or the Great Chilean earthquake. It was the largest earthquake ever recorded. It killed 1,655 people and left 2 million homeless. At the same time, the world's first recorded magnitude 9 earthquakes occurred in Kamchatka Krai, Russia in 1952. This caused a major tsunami, which caused more than $1 million in damage in the Hawaiian Islands. In 2011, the Great Tohoku Earthquake of magnitude 9.1 struck Tohoku, Japan. This earthquake and tsunami killed more than 15,000 people and left more than 130,000 homeless.

The most severe earthquake ever in India occurred here

The most severe earthquake in India so far has occurred in Arunachal Pradesh. This earthquake of 8.6 magnitudes on the Richter scale in 1950 is also known as the Assam-Tibet earthquake. This earthquake caused severe tremors. Cracks appeared in the ground and landslides occurred at many places. 780 people lost their lives in this earthquake.

To understand earthquakes, first know the structure of the earth

To understand earthquakes, first we have to understand the structure of the earth. Our earth is made up of four layers. These four layers are inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust and upper mantle core are called lithosphere. This 50 kilometer thick layer is divided into many parts, which are also called tectonic plates. There are 7 types of plates inside the earth, which keep shifting due to heavy pressure and temperature. When these plates move very forcefully, we feel the tremors of an earthquake.

These three gods make earthquakes destructive

The three factors that cause major earthquakes are the trinity of earth waves. Three different types of seismic waves are produced in an earthquake, including P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. P-waves travel the fastest and produce a sensation that feels like a jolt or bang. S-waves travel at a slower speed. It usually feels like a rolling or swaying motion. Surface waves, on the other hand, are produced only during major earthquakes. They can shake the earth from side to side or move the ground like sea waves.

What is the Richter scale on which earthquakes are measured

According to the USGS, the magnitude of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale, meaning that each increase in the magnitude of the earthquake increases by 10 points. For example, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake is ten times more powerful than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake.

What is the major reason for an earthquake

There can be many causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes occur when energy inside the Earth is suddenly released. But, the biggest cause is the movement of tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are the large rocks that make up the surface of the Earth. These plates are constantly moving and when they collide with each other or move away from each other, an earthquake can occur. Some earthquakes are man-made. Apart from tectonic plates, earthquakes can also occur due to volcanic eruptions, landslides, explosions in mines, nuclear tests.

How much damage will be caused by the earthquake, it depends on the centre

According to Farjad Naeem, former president of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute in Southern California, US, a big earthquake is not going to cause such destruction. Buildings collapsing are very rare. But, if the intensity of the earthquake is high, it can be devastating. In real life, people's earthquake experiences depend a lot on factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake (size of the earthquake) and the person's distance from the epicenter (where the earthquake started).

Why does a loud thunder occur, which is extremely frightening

According to the US Geological Survey, the shallower or lesser the depth of the earthquake's epicenter, the more energy can reach the surface. High frequency seismic waves pass through the ground. This is why thunder is heard during an earthquake. High frequency seismic waves pass through the ground. This is why thunder is heard during an earthquake.
