Although its intensity was recorded on the Richter scale, the region was once shaken by tremors. The National Seismic Monitoring Center (NSMC) said that earthquakes occurred in Gilgit and surrounding areas and there was no loss of life or property.
These earthquakes are caused by the continuous rotation of seven plates inside the earth. The places where these plates collide are called fault lines. They often collide. This causes the plates to break. Due to their disintegration, the energy inside tries to come out. In this order, it finds a way. This causes the ground to vibrate in that area. This is called an earthquake.
