The reason for this is that the shallow earthquakes have a short distance to travel on the surface in earthquakes, resulting in strong ground shaking and potential structures and more and more damage to the casualties.Meanwhile, the residents of Peshawar were shocked by an earthquake on Wednesday, measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale, Jio News reported that cited the cesmological center.According to Geo News, the earthquake was located in the Hindu Kush mountain range of Afghanistan, at a depth of 211 km.No immediate damage or casualties were done after the shock.This latest earthquake comes in parts of Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after an earthquake of 5.3-Chance, which includes Marden, Swat, Novashera, Swabi and North Waziristan.

As a result, earthquakes in Pakistan occur often and are destructive.Pakistan geologically overlaps both Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. Balochistan, federally administered tribal regions, are located on the southern edge of the Eurasian plate at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan province of Eurasian plate. Sindh, Punjab and Pakistan-Quiz-based Jammu and Kashmir province are located on the northwest shore of the Indian plate in South Asia. So this area is prone to violent earthquakes, as two tectonic plates collide.
