Earthquake of magnitude 6.5 rocks Nicobar, 6.3 jolts Bay of Bengal; Could it trigger tsunami?

<p>Andaman and Nicobar islands recorded 22 earthquakes in 24 hours. The earthquakes were of the magnitude 3.8 to 5.0. The National Center for Seismology said that the earthquakes&nbsp;were reported in the Andaman sea,&nbsp;starting from 5.42 am on Monday with the most recent one being in&nbsp;the south-eastern coast of Port Blair of a magnitude of&nbsp;4.3, at 8.05 am today, i.e., July 6.&nbsp;There were no reports of any loss of life or damage to property due to the earthquake. But, such a huge number of earthquakes in just a span of 24 hours indicates the destruction that can be caused in the future. Earthquakes in the sea can also result in tsunamis, which can cause even more damage.</p>

<h2><strong>What causes an earthquake?</strong></h2>

<p>There are tectonic plates present in the earth which are constantly moving. But sometimes they can get stuck&nbsp;at their edges due to friction. According to Usgs.gov, when the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. A seafloor earthquake is called a submarine earthquake. They generate by far the most dangerous tsunamis, caused by the sudden displacements over large areas.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is happening in Andaman and Nicobar?</strong></h2>

<p>Continuous tremors are felt on the island, due to a series of earthquakes occurring in the Andaman sea. Though the earthquakes didn't cause any harm or casualties, still so many frequently occurring earthquakes are a cause of concern. If the magnitude would have been high, it may even cause Tsunamis. More than 20 earthquakes were reported in the past 24 hours. Hence being an island, the area is in much more threat.&nbsp;</p>
