Magnitude 4.1 Earthquake Occurs in Tibet at 38 Kilometers Depth

An earthquake measuring magnitude 4.1 struck Tibet on May 8 at 3:10 am IST, occurring at a depth of 38 kilometers, according to the National Centre for Seismology. The tremor was located at latitude 35.385 North and longitude 85.112 East. Tibet lies along a major fault line where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates converge, making the region seismically active. Shallow earthquakes like this can cause stronger ground shaking and greater damage due to their proximity to the surface.
