Delhi earthquake: Strong tremors of 4.0 magnitude felt across Delhi, NCR region on February 17 morning

The Hindu  

The 4-magnitude earthquake that originated in Delhi early on Monday was the strongest since a 4.6-magnitude temblor in the city in 2007. “The 4.6-magnitude quake in November 2007 barely registered with many because it was at a 10-km depth, meaning that most of the energy dissipated by the time that seismic waves reached the surface,” O.P. The maximum magnitude of an earthquake was reported on November 25, 2007, which is about six kilometres north-west of Monday’s quake, which originated at Jheel Park, in Delhi, according to the agency. In other words, below Delhi’s surface lie vast water channels of aquifers, ancient rivers and rivulets, and over aeons, they erode the underlying rocks causing various “fractures”, triggering seismic waves in the process. Mr. Mishra noted that the quake conformed with patterns previously reported in Delhi and that it was “highly unlikely” the city, and its surrounding suburbs, would ever experience a quake bigger than a 6 magnitude.
