🔆 Why Earthquakes Occur & Why Afghanistan is So Vulnerable 📍 Recent Quake ✅ A 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck northeast Afghanistan (Nangarhar province, depth 8 km), killing 800+ people and injuring 2000+. ✅ Afghanistan faced 3 major quakes in 2023 (1,300 deaths) & a 5.9 quake in 2022 (1,300 deaths). 📍 Causes of Earthquakes ✅ Occur when two blocks of Earth slip past each other, releasing elastic strain energy as seismic waves. ✅ Earth’s crust: made of tectonic plates, colliding or sliding past one another → creates faults & slips. ✅ Key terms: • Hypocenter → point inside Earth where quake starts. • Epicenter → point directly above hypocenter on surface. 📍 Depth & Magnitude ✅ Shallow quakes (<70 km) more dangerous as energy reaches surface quickly. ✅ Magnitude vs Strength: Magnitude = size of seismic waves; Strength = energy carried. ✅ Magnitude 6 quake = 10x amplitude & 32x energy of magnitude 5. 📍 Afghanistan’s Vulnerability ✅ Lies at collision zone of Indian & Eurasian plates → highly active seismic region. ✅ India moving towards Eurasia at 45 mm/year → releases ~15% of global seismic energy annually. ✅ Hindu Kush: recorded 12 quakes >7 magnitude since 1900.

🔎 Prelims Q Q. The Hindu Kush region is highly earthquake-prone because it lies at the junction of which tectonic plates? a) Indian & African b) Indian & Eurasian c) Eurasian & Pacific d) Arabian & African ➡️ Ans: b) Indian & Eurasian



✍️ Mains Q Explain why Afghanistan is among the most earthquake-prone regions of the world. How does tectonic plate movement make it vulnerable? (10M/150W)
