On Tuesday, August 26, Myanmar hit 3.5-Magnite Earthquake at a shallow depth of 25 km, said the National Center for Seismology (NCS) and warned that the tremor depth could be susceptible to shocks.
In the post on X, NCS said: “EQ M: 3,5, on: 26/08/2025 03:03:25 Ist, LAT: 22,62 N, Long: 96,17 E, depth: 25 km, Location: Myanmar.”
Shallow earthquake is generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because seismic waves of shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance for the road to the surface, resulting in stronger fraying of the Earth and potentially greater damage to structures and greater victims.
Another earthquake of 4.9 hit Myanmar at a depth of 65 km earlier.
In the paper on X, NCS said: “EQ M: 4.9, on: 22/08/2025 10:26:19 Ist, LAT: 23,37 N, Long: 94,07 E, depth: 65 km, location: Myanmar.”
After strong shocks 7.7 and 6.4, the central Myanmar 28, March 28, warned, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against growing health risks for tens of thousands of displaced, including tuberculosis (TB), HIV and vector, as well as water diseases.
Myanmar is vulnerable to the risks of mild and large earthquakes, including the danger of tsunami along its long coast. Myanmar is spewed between four tectonic plates (Indian, Eurasian, Sunda and Burmese plates) that interact in active geological processes.
The transformation failure of 1,400 kilometers passes through Myanmar and combines the spread of the Andaman Center with the collision zone in the north called Sagaing. The saga disorder increases seismic risk for saga, mandalay, Bago and Yangon, which together represent 46 percent of myanmar population. Although Yangon is relatively far from the track for disorders, it still suffers from a significant risk due to its dense population. In 1903, for example, an intense earthquake with a size of 7.0, which occurred in Bago, also hit Yangon.
Another earthquake in Tibet
In addition to Myanmar, an earthquake of size 4.3 hit Tibet, the statement of the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said.
In the paper on X, NCS said: “EQ M: 4.3, on: 26/08/2025 07:34:01 Ist, Lat: 30,06 N, Dlouhá: 84,41 E, Depth: 180 km, Location: Tibet.”
Another 3.4 earthquake hit Tibet at a depth of 98 km.
