Magnitude 3.5 Earthquake Hits Myanmar
A statement from the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said a magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck Myanmar on Sunday. According to the NCS, the earthquake struck at a shallow depth of 10 km, raising the possibility of aftershocks.
Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deep earthquakes because they release more energy when they occur near the Earth's surface, causing more ground vibrations and greater damage to structures. Deep earthquakes lose less energy when they reach the surface. Previously, on November 14, a 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 35 km.
