Not long before that on Saturday, a 4.3 magnitude quake struck Afghanistan. This came after the country’s 4.5 magnitude quake a day prior.

Shallow Earthquakes Have Worse Effects

As stated by seismologists, shallow earthquakes, quakes with an epicenter closer to the earth’s surface, can trigger much greater ground shaking. The energy released impacts the surface directly, increasing the damage even if the strength of the quake is moderate.
