On Jun 23,2020 a 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake hits the Oaxaca, Mexico. Due this Earthquake people are evacuated and Tsunami warning is triggered across the region.
While currently we did not have model to predict the Earthquake, using the satellite we can study the impact caused by earthquake and movement of the land. Currently Esa Satellite Sentinel 1 is used to observe the earth quake and volcanic eruption.
During the current earth quake with the help of Sential 1 Scientist combined the images of previous and after earth quake images while this images are taken different dates. using this image scientist found the interference pattern this named as interferogram this will clearly show how much the surface is actually displaced from the previous position. During this earthquake the surface is displaced about 0.45m in the epicenter (La Crucecita ).
This type of information will help the scientists to understand more about the Earth Quakes. This displacement is measured from east to west.
