Gujarat's Rajkot district hit by 9 earthquakes in 12 hours
Rajkot in Gujarat just went through nine small earthquakes in only 12 hours, from Thursday night to Friday morning.
The strongest was a 3.8 magnitude tremor, but thankfully, there were no injuries or damage.
The epicenters were located 27 to 30km northwest of Upleta, and people definitely felt it—some even evacuated their homes.
What's behind all these quakes?
The epicenters were northwest of Upleta, which is unusual since this area isn't known for frequent quakes like Kachchh.
Experts say that while quakes under magnitude 4 aren't usually a big deal, having so many back-to-back is worth paying attention to—especially since Rajkot isn't on any major fault lines.
Scientists think post-monsoon changes might be playing a role and are looking into why this sudden cluster happened.
