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，美国地质勘探局报告称缅甸发生震级为6.8级的地震。

The quake hit in eastern Myanmar, about 70 miles (110 km) from Chiang Rai, Thailand, the survey reported.
地震发生在缅甸东部，距离泰国清莱70英里。

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
目前暂无人员伤亡报道。

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震级的地震会造成比较大的损害，尤其是震源深度较浅的时候。地质勘探局一开始说震源深度为142英里，随后修正为6英里，这样看来震源相当接近地表。

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."
太平洋海啸预警重心初步判断称不会引发海啸：“震源在内陆，又是地底，不会在印度洋引起海啸。”
