💨 Abstract

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in southern Tibet, killing 126 people and injuring 188. The quake, located in the Lhasa block, was caused by a northward compression from the Indian Ocean plate and crustal movement of tectonic plates. This region has experienced more than 20 earthquakes above 6.0 magnitude in the last 75 years.
