Can an earthquake occur in Delhi, India?

since it has no oceans there , will it be safe all the time?

Answer #1

It might get some p waves but not much else so it can be effected But not likely to be in danger

Answer #2

There are many reasons why earthquakes happen, and in fact, most earthquakes are not caused by earthquakes. Earthquakes happen when the tress in the earth’s outer layer cause a pushing effect against the sides of the fault. Due to this motion, rocks slip or collide against each other releasing energy. This released energy travels in waves through the earth’s crust and causes the shaking that we feel during an earthquake. It is just that earthquakes can be potentially more dangerous if it strikes at land near a supplement to an earthquake that could be more dangerous. Earthquakes can also cause landslides, sudden eruptions as in the case of a hot lava flow from a volcano or giant waves called tsunamis. Sometimes new land mass are also formed. But in reality, I do not think that there is much danger in Dehli, India. There have mot been many (or if any) earthquakes that have happened in Dehli (that I know of).

Answer #3

Yes it can. Earthquake happens on land and ocean. So it also can happen in anyplace including Delhi.
