According to NCS, the earthquake occurred at 03:13 AM Indian Standard Time (IST), at a depth of 10 kilometres.
NCS said on X, "EQ of M: 3.0, On: 30/11/2025 03:13:53 IST, Lat: 28.05 N, Long: 87.76 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Tibet."

Earlier in November, an earthquake of magnitude 3.8 struck Tibet.
Sharing the details in a post on X, the NCS said, "EQ of M: 3.8, On: 11/11/2025 04:14:18 IST, Lat: 28.55 N, Long: 86.90 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Tibet."
Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/magnitude-35-earthquake-strikes-myanmar-ncs-warns-of-aftershock-risk-amid-rising-seismic-activity-23603461" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">deep 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.
The Tibetan Plateau is known for its seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions.
Tibet and Nepal lie on a major geological fault line where the Indian tectonic plate pushes up into the Eurasian plate, and earthquakes are a regular occurrence as a result of it. The region is seismically active due to tectonic uplifts that can grow strong enough to change the heights of the Himalayas` peaks.
The Tibetan plateau attains its high elevation due to crustal thickening caused by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian plate, creating the Himalayas. Faulting within the plateau is associated with strike-slip and normal mechanisms. The plateau extends in an east-west direction evidenced by north-south striking grabens, strike-slip faulting and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/nearly-95000-passenger-vehicles-in-maharashtra-now-have-gps-trackers-for-womens-safety-23594004" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">GPS data</a>.
In the northern region, strike-slip faulting constitutes the dominant style of tectonics while in the south, the dominant tectonic domain is east-west extension on north-south trending normal faults.
Seven north-south trending rifts and normal faults were first discovered in southern Tibet during the late 1970s and early 1980s using satellite imagery. They began formation when extension occurred some 4 to 8 million years ago.
The largest earthquakes in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/china-destroys-over-300-buddhist-stupas-sacred-statues-in-drakgo-tibetans-face-crackdown-and-silence-23585906" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Tibet</a>, with magnitudes of 8.0 or similar, occur along strike-slip faults. Normal faulting earthquakes are smaller in magnitudes; in 2008, five normal faulting earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.9 to 7.1 occurred in various locations across the plateau.
