Low-Intensity Tremors Recorded in Karnataka's Vijayapura District
Imagine the ground is like a giant playground.
Sometimes, the ground shakes a little bit, like a tiny bouncy castle.
Two of these tiny shakes, called tremors, happened in a place called Vijayapura.
They weren't big or strong, only a 2.6 on the special shake scale.
The first shake happened near Honwad, and the other one was near Mangoli.
Experts say they were deep down in the ground.
These little shakes are so small they won't hurt anyone, like a gentle nudge.
Two low-intensity tremors, each with a magnitude of 2.6, were recorded in Karnataka's Vijayapura district.
The first tremor occurred at 11:41 AM near Honwad Gram Panchayat.
The second tremor was recorded at Mangoli Gram Panchayat.
Both tremors were at a depth of 10 km.
KSNDMC stated that the tremors are unlikely to cause any harm due to their low intensity.
