Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/earthquake-of-magnitude-4-5-strikes-myanmar-second-in-three-days-23601418" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">earthquakes</a>. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures and greater casualties.
