Rajkot : There have been 15 tremors in the last two days in Gujarat. The epicenter was reported below the ground, however; no tsunami alert was issued.

After 15 years of research, this is not a big fault line. This condition occurs when it rains more than average. This situation is more in Junagadh, Gir Somnath, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Porbandar.

The following earthquakes occur from August to February. There are mainly 2 magnitude earthquakes. Most earthquakes occur in the Talala area. This condition occurs whenever it rains more than average.

Why do earthquakes occur?
There are 7 plates inside the earth that rotate continuously. The places where these plates collide more is called the fault line zone. Corners of the plates turn due to repeated hitting. When the more pressure starts to build up, the plates start breaking. Due to this, the energy inside it finds a way to come out. After this disturbance, an earthquake occurs.

Keep these things in mind during an earthquake
– Be careful and aware of the post-earthquake tremors.
– Keep distance from windows, tall buildings and other structures.
– If you are in a multi-storey building, always use the stairs.
– If you are stuck somewhere or in a secluded place, then save your energy. Use mobile and other battery powered devices to a minimum.
– If you are in a tall building, move away from the outer wall immediately and save your head. If you have a helmet, wear it. Do not use the lift and stay away from windows.
– When driving, stop the engine by stopping the car on the side of the road. Stay away from flyovers, power lines and advertisement boards. Get out of the car and lie down on its side. Do not stay inside the car in any situation.
