Naypyidaw [Myanmar]November 29, 2019 (Xinhua) A 2.8-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar today (Saturday), a statement issued by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said.

The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, making it vulnerable to aftershocks.

Surface earthquakes are generally considered more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because seismic waves generated by shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and possibly more damage to structures and increased losses.

Earlier on November 24, another 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck the area at a depth of 139 kilometers.

Myanmar is vulnerable to risks from medium- and large-scale earthquakes and tsunami hazards along its long coastline. Myanmar lies between four tectonic plates (the Indian, Eurasian, Sunda and Burma plates) that interact in active geological processes.

Following the magnitude 7.7 and 6.4 earthquakes that struck central Myanmar on March 28, the World Health Organization warned of a series of rapidly increasing health threats to tens of thousands of displaced people in quake-affected areas: tuberculosis, HIV, and waterborne diseases.

A 1,400-kilometre-long transform fault runs through Myanmar, connecting the Andaman spreading center to a collision zone to the north called the Sagaing Fault.

The Sagaing Fault increases seismic risk in Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago and Yangon, which together account for 46 percent of Myanmar's population. Although Yangon is relatively far from the impact of the fault line, it still suffers from great risks due to its dense population. For example, in 1903, Yangon was also hit by a severe 7.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Bago. (that I)
