Massive Earthquake in Manipur, India

[halupridol]

Anything between 6-7 on ritcher scale can damage buildings.
Any secondary waves expected???
I hope the number of casualities don't rise.

@halupridol lil bro how are you doing?

i'm doing alright dear.bach gaya

@BDforever I heard this earthquake caused damage in BD too. How are you doing?

yes , i am doing fine. thanks
with bless, there was not big causality

That's a myth that earthquakes of smaller magnitudes prevent stronger earthquakes. I had a subject called geology, in which we learnt about earthquakes. Every magnitude 6 earthquake = 32 magnitude 5's= 1000 magnitude 4's = 32000 magnitude 3's (and so on for smaller earthquakes).

Well that's what I learnt in my Earthquake Engineering classes back in my college days. I'm unable to comprehend about 32, 1000 and 32000 that you mentioned. Please elucidate. Would love to hear from you. And by magnitude you mean to say in Richter scale right ?

When I say about small earthquakes I mean that smaller earthquakes help in early release of seismic energy, thus preventing longer accumulation of seismic energy in geological strata. Of course we cannot completely deny the fact that tectonic plates can shift in another direction too.

By the way the scientists are working on early detection of earthquakes using detection of geo-neutrinos, Would love to hear from you on this.

Thoughts and prayers with Indian people. Hope everyone is safe.

Thanks for the articles.
Yes, I had heard about the particles, neutrinos, which the scientists say can travel faster than light. Amazing isn't it?
In case of earthquake, so far, there are no single indicators to predict it accurately.
Your previous post in which you had mentioned that a series of smaller earthquakes can prevent a larger earthquake, then I was reminded of the L’Aquila earthquake, which came after tremors and less powerful earthquakes. A geologist, I guess, had predicted back then, using radon gas, that a bigger earthquake is possible. But since he could not predict when it would happen nobody took him seriously. Consequently, many precious lives were lost due to earthquake that year.
Another method could be to check the variation in earth's magnetic field. But I am not sure if any one the methods can predict the time of earthquake accurately.
Yes, I was talking about magnitude on ritcher scale.
This is what I meant

did you check Stupid and funny thread ? i tagged you there for something lol

Having been through a natural calamity recently, can relate to what Manipuris are going through.

unfortunate it has not received much media attention, due to recent terror strikes.
