An earthquake struck Mount Abu, Rajasthan, at around 7:51 this morning, causing tremors across areas like Mount Abu, Nakki Lake, Dhondai, and Delwada’s main market. The intensity on the Richter scale has not yet been confirmed.
Reports indicate that the tremors have left residents in a state of fear. Many people quickly evacuated their homes as the ground shook. Fortunately, no damage has been reported.
Earthquakes occur due to the movement of the Earth’s seven tectonic plates, which are joined together but may collide at their junctions. When one plate shifts into the space of another, friction builds, causing the ground to shake. This friction can sometimes lead to cracks in the Earth’s surface.
