Tibet rocked by 3.6 magnitude earthquake; second tremor in days

• A 3.6 magnitude earthquake struck Tibet on February 25, occurring at a depth of 50km.
• This follows a 3.7 magnitude earthquake on February 22, which was shallow at 5km, increasing aftershock susceptibility.
• Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous due to stronger ground shaking and potential for greater damage.
• The Tibetan Plateau is seismically active due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
• The region experiences frequent earthquakes, with the largest occurring along strike-slip faults.
