Did you know that a ”fault“ is a fracture in the Earth’s crust where blocks of rock can move relative to one another? The sudden release of energy along a fault can cause an ”earthquake“.
Thailand has “17 active fault groups” distributed across several regions, particularly in the “North and West”. These faults remain capable of movement and may generate earthquakes.
📍 This infographic presents the ”17 active fault groups in Thailand“, along with the provinces associated with each fault, to show how these fault zones are distributed across the country.
