Earthquakes play a leading role among natural disasters in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is a country covered with mountains and highly prone to various natural disasters. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The natural disaster that causes the most loss of life and property is earthquakes. Research shows that since 1990, hundreds of earthquakes with a magnitude above 5.0 have been recorded in Afghanistan.
This situation has made the country one of the most seismically active regions. According to experts, Afghanistan is located at the junction of two major geological plates.
The Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates are constantly moving, and their collision and sliding against each other cause earthquakes. Especially in cities and villages between the mountains, the impact of earthquakes is much stronger.
To reduce the negative consequences of earthquakes, building codes in Afghanistan need to be updated and seismological monitoring systems improved. Additionally, it is important to conduct regular training sessions for the population on how to act and evacuate during emergencies.
These measures will be of great importance in protecting lives and property in the future. Although a natural phenomenon, the impact of earthquakes in Afghanistan can be significantly reduced by preparing and strengthening safety measures.
Therefore, effective work in this area should continue in the country.
