Hey there! Did you hear about the big earthquake that happened on Sunday? 
A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 shook the border region between Afghanistan and Tajikistan!
What’s an earthquake? It’s when the ground shakes because rocks underground suddenly break and move. It’s like when you jump on a trampoline, and the surface wobbles!
This earthquake happened 10 kilometers underground. That’s about as deep as 10,000 basketball courts lined up end to end! 
Earthquakes can be scary, but scientists all over the world keep an eye on them. This one was reported by the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC).
We hope everyone in the area is safe and sound! Remember, learning about our planet helps us understand and respect its power.
