3.0 magnitude quake hits Tibet; second in two days.

• A magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck Tibet on Friday, December 5, 2025, at a depth of 60km.
• A magnitude 4.3 earthquake also hit Tibet on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at a shallow depth of 10km.
• Shallow earthquakes are considered more dangerous due to stronger ground shaking and potential for greater damage.
• Tibet is a seismically active region due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
• The largest earthquakes in Tibet, reaching magnitudes of 8.0, typically occur along strike-slip faults.

Why It Matters: Tibet's seismic activity signals continuous earthquake danger from active tectonic plates.
