The Meckering earthquake of 1968 was caused by the movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. Specifically, it was the result of the Indian-Australian tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate interacting along a fault line in Western Australia.
The Meckering earthquake, which occurred in Western Australia on October 14, 1968, had a magnitude of 6.9. Fortunately, there were no reported deaths as a result of the earthquake, although it caused significant damage to buildings and infrastructure in the area. The event is still notable for its intensity, but the lack of fatalities is attributed to the relatively low population density in the affected region at the time.
The first earthquake in Australia happened hundreds of millions of years ago.
