An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 on the Richter Scale struck Leh on Saturday (November 1), the National Center for Seismology or the NCS said. According to the NCS, the quake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km below the Earth’s surface. “EQ of M: 4.1, On: 01/11/2025 17:42:26 IST, Lat: 36.69 N, Long: 75.51 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Leh, Ladakh,” the NCS said in a post on the social media platform X. No reports of injuries or casualties have surfaced so far.
General Impact of shallow quakes
Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deeper ones. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger shaking of the ground and potentially more damage to structures, as well as greater casualties.
