Thailand’s Earthquake Damage: 34 Buildings Deemed Unsafe After National Checks
The guy who made the speech was probably right Bangkok is not in a earthquake zone There is a major fault called the Sagaing fault, which cuts right through Myanmar north to south and is more than 1,200km (746 miles) long. Early data suggests that the movement that caused Friday's 7.7-magnitude earthquake was a "strike-slip" - where two blocks move horizontally along each other. This aligns with the movement typical of the Sagaing fault. As the plates move past each other, they can become stuck, building friction until it is suddenly released and the earth shifts, causing an earthquake. How earthquakes are felt at the surface is also determined by the type of soil. In soft soil - which is what Bangkok is built on - seismic waves (the vibrations of the earth) slow down and build up, getting bigger in size. So, Bangkok's geology would have made the ground shaking more intense. What hit Bangkok was seismic waves from 1500klm away -
