New updates

The instant messaging app increased number of participants from 512 to 1,024 who can be added to a single group without storage problems.

WhatsApp allowed more control to the admins to approve the requests of new members, who can join the group.

The group admins can review the new members, who want to join the group, by opening the ‘pending participants’ within the ‘group info’ screen.

With the advent of new features, WhatsApp permitted users through which they would be able to see groups they have common with their contacts.

The new update provided the users with more information while searching the contacts in search bar.

Earthquakes are one of the most devastating natural disasters on Earth. They occur when the earth's crust shifts and releases energy that causes shaking and vibrations. The causes of earthquakes are complex and still not fully understood. However, scientists have developed theories that explain why earthquakes occur and what their consequences can be.

One of the main causes of earthquakes is the movement of tectonic plates. The earth's surface is made up of several large plates that move very slowly over time. When these plates collide or slide past each other, they create enormous amounts of energy that can be released as an earthquake.

These types of earthquakes are known as tectonic earthquakes, and they are responsible for most of the seismic activity that occurs around the world.

Another cause of earthquakes is volcanic activity. When magma rises to the surface of the earth, it can cause the ground to shake and vibrate. These earthquakes are generally smaller than tectonic earthquakes, but they can still cause damage and be felt over a wide area.

In addition to the physical damage caused by earthquakes, they can also have significant social and economic consequences.

In some cases, earthquakes can lead to the displacement of entire communities, as buildings and infrastructure are damaged or destroyed. This can result in the loss of homes, businesses, and other important resources.

Additionally, earthquakes can have a significant impact on local economies, as businesses are forced to close and people are unable to work.

Despite the devastating consequences of earthquakes, scientists have made significant progress in predicting and mitigating their effects.

Through the use of advanced technology and sophisticated modeling techniques, they are able to identify areas that are at high risk for seismic activity and take steps to prepare for potential earthquakes.

These preparations can include building earthquake-resistant structures, establishing emergency response plans, and creating early warning systems that can alert people to the impending danger.

Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that can have significant consequences for the communities and ecosystems that they impact. While the causes of earthquakes are complex and not fully understood, scientists have made significant progress in predicting and mitigating their effects.

By working together to develop effective strategies for responding to earthquakes, we can reduce the risk of damage and loss of life caused by these powerful natural events.
