Myanmar was hit by a 4.7 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday at a shallow depth, following a 3.2 magnitude tremor on Monday. The nation's location between four tectonic plates and the active Sagaing Fault makes it highly vulnerable to seismic events. This geological instability poses significant risks, including health threats for displaced populations after past major quakes.
