An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 struck Tibet early Saturday, the National Center for Seismology said.

The tremor occurred at a depth of 10 km, with its epicentre located at latitude 28.37°N and longitude 88.02°E.

Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures and greater casualties.

The Tibetan Plateau is known for its seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions. (ANI)
