An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck Myanmar Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
3月24日星期四，美國地質(zhì)勘探局報告稱緬甸發(fā)生震級為6.8級的地震。

The quake hit in eastern Myanmar, about 70 miles (110 km) from Chiang Rai, Thailand, the survey reported.
地震發(fā)生在緬甸東部，距離泰國清萊70英里。

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
目前暫無人員傷亡報道。

Earthquakes of that magnitude are capable of causing major damage, especially when they are relatively shallow. The Geological Survey initially said the quake had a depth of 142 miles (230 kilometers), but it later revised its estimate to say the quake was 6 miles (10 kilometers) deep, putting it fairly close to the surface.
7.0震級的地震會造成比較大的損害，尤其是震源深度較淺的時候。地質(zhì)勘探局一開始說震源深度為142英里，隨后修正為6英里，這樣看來震源相當(dāng)接近地表。

A destructive tsunami is not expected, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. In advice to government agencies, the center said the quake "is located too far inland and too deep inside the earth to generate a tsunami in the Indian Ocean."
太平洋海嘯預(yù)警重心初步判斷稱不會引發(fā)海嘯：“震源在內(nèi)陸，又是地底，不會在印度洋引起海嘯?！?/div>
