Earthquake in Myanmar caused by teak fault In Myanmar, there is a huge crack in rocks below the surface of the earth, which passes through many parts of the country. This crack passes through the city of Sagiing in Myanmar, so it was named Sagiing Fault. It extends 1200 km from north to south in Myanmar.
It is called a ‘strike-slip fault’, which means that the rocks on both sides move from each other in the horizontal direction, not up and down. You can understand it as if two books are placed on the table and they should be slid against each other.
This crack goes from the Andaman Sea to the foothills of the Himalayas and is made up of the moving of the Earth’s tectonic plates. The Indian plate is moving towards the north-east, which puts pressure on the saging fault and the rocks move next.
Many major earthquakes in Myanmar have occurred due to this gathering fault. Earlier in 2012, an earthquake of 6.8 magnitude has occurred. Sagiing Fault had more than 6 earthquakes with 7 magnitude between 1930 and 1956.
