Earthquake Of Magnitude 4.3 Strikes Tibet | World News

TIBET: In a statement made by the National Seismology Center (NCS), an earthquake of 4.3 shot Tibet on Tuesday. According to NCS, the earthquake hit 180km depth. In an article in X, NCS said, “M: 4.3, on: 26/08/2025 07:34:01st, Lat: 30.06 n, long: 84.41 E, Depth: 180 km, place: Tibetan”.

At the beginning of August 24, a 3.4 -magnitude earthquake hit Tibet at a depth of 98 km. In an article in X, NCS, “M: M: M: 3.4, on: 24/08/2025 14:11:02 IST, Lat: 28.09 n, long: 88.08 e, depth: 98 km, place: Tibetan.”

The Tibetan plateau is known for its seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions. Tibet and Nepal lies in a large geological fault line that the Indian tectonic plate pushed towards the Eurasian plate, and earthquakes are a regular event as a result. The region is seismicly active due to tectonic rises that can grow strong enough to change the heights of the peaks of Himalayas.

The Tibetan plateau creates Himalayas by reaching its height due to the crust thickening of the Indian tectonic plate collision with the Eurasian plate. The fault in the plateau is associated with strike shift and normal mechanisms. Plato extends in the east-west direction, proven by the North-South striking grabens, strike-loss faulting and GPS data.

In the northern region, the strike-loss faulting is the dominant style of the tectons, while the dominant tectonic area is the east-west extension on normal errors with north-south trends in the south. In the late 1970s and in the early 1980s, the seven-north-south trend, which uses satellite images in South Tibet, was discovered. They began to occur when the extension occurred 4 to 8 million years ago.

The largest earthquakes in Tibet occur during strike-storage errors with 8.0 or similar sizes. Normal faulting earthquakes are smaller in size; In 2008, five normal faulting earthquakes of 5.9 to 7.1 magnitude occurred in various places along the plateau.
