Inside the ground, affected by the existence of earthquakes, which affects the cracked and cracked buildings and then collapse, that the causes of earthquakes increased stresses on the crust rocks Aloardah, lack of thickness, and the presence of weak areas within Aloard soles, and pointed out that there are earthquakes have a man incomes, such as Earthquake mines and quarries that produce human digging of the land, thus loosening layers of the earth is happening, and there are earthquakes, volcanic occur happened when boiling volcano, leading to osteoporosis in Earth rocks, and then they happen, that there are6 giant earthquakes occur at the level of the globe, stretching from the Himalayas, China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal Mountains and extends to the mountains of Zagros.uan cause devastating Nepal earthquake, he confirmed that the plate comprising the earth's crust Asian continent collided with a plate Himalayas most recent that features twice in the earth's crust led to the earthquake, and the degrees of earthquakes greater than7 Richter is a devastating earthquake, which is what happened in Nepal, and less than7 Richter is a major earthquake, and less than5 Richter earthquake is average, and less than3 small, less than1 very small
Earthquakes are the result of continuous and progressive movements, in convergence, divergence or sharing mode, of the tectonic plates. Pakistan, Afghanistan and its surrounding are located at the collision limit between India and Eurasia plates that occures since Middle Eocene (18 MA). The region is continually submitted to strain hightlighted by an alignement of eartquakes drawing the edge of collision.
tectonic activities and plats movements.
Pakistan and Afghanistan and its surrounding suites on the margin of India-Eurasia plates, briefly, any simple movement takes place this will be noticed as an earthquake
The entire earthcrust is essentially divided into cratons and mobile belts. Cratons are the stable parts of the crust where most of Africa is sitting on.While mobile belts are the unstable parts of the crust where there isalways some activity such as volcanic eruptions and the like.Unfortunately Pakistan, Afghanistan and the surroundings are sitting on mobile belts where there is always bound to be some activity such as earthquakes.Incidentally earthquakes occur when there is movement along plates (faults) deep down the crust.
We have to tak einto consideration the plate tectonic of the area, you will find that Pakistan and Afghanistan suites on the margin of India-Eurasia plates, briefly, any simple movement takes place this will produce an immense pressure leading rocks to rupture.
The rupture will be noticed as an earthquake
the main reason of earthquake in pakistan and surround us the collision of indian plates ande eurasion plates and also makran subduction zone there have the interaction afghan micro plate and iran micro plate and also pakistan have unique tectonic frame work two type boundary have present transform boundary and convergant plate boundary
becuase of the presence ative plate movement in pakistan 2005 earth quake happens due to the reactivation of muzaffarabad fault nad in afghan is the orchnal fault b/w indian afghan block is the main reason of the earth quake , himalyas are formed due to the collosion b/w indain and eurasna plate , due to this colloision the tethys sea closed under the eurasin plate
indian plate have divergent boundary at south due to which plate moves towards north and collide with eurasian plate , and on the eastern side there is arabian plate which subducts under afghan block (eurasian plate) as a result of this subduction makran subduction zone is formed , as well as zagros fold and thrust belt is also formed
Because of the active continental margins; friction between the subducting and the overlying plate.
Hindu Kush betwen Pakistan And Afganistan lies in the area of collision of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. The geological activity born out of this collision, also responsible for the birth of the Himalayan mountain range, is the cause of earthquake. But some geologist are in mystery about Afganistan earthquake.
