Know why earthquake occurs?
Let us tell you that the thick layer of the earth, which is called tectonic plates, keeps shifting from its place. These plates usually shift from their place by about 4-5 mm every year. During this period, sometimes one plate comes closer to the other plate and sometimes it moves away. In this sequence, sometimes these plates collide with each other. Only in such circumstances an earthquake occurs and the earth shakes. These plates are about 30 to 50 kilometers below the surface.

Know how to protect yourself?
If an earthquake occurs, the first thing to do is to get out of the house and run towards an open space. If you are trapped in the house, hide under the bed or a strong table. You can save yourself even by standing in the corners of the house. Do not use office or building lifts during an earthquake. Stay away from trees and electric poles.
