4.2 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Afghanistan

4.2 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Afghanistan

Imagine the ground shaking in Afghanistan again!

On Monday, another earthquake happened.

It wasn't a huge one, measuring 4.2.

The shaking started deep underground, 140 kilometers down.

This is the fourth earthquake in a few days.

Afghanistan sits where the earth's plates bump together, so earthquakes are common.

This can cause damage to vulnerable communities, which are already grappling with other issues.
