A 7.7 magnitude earthquake rattled much of Southeast Asia on Friday, flattening skyscrapers and leaving more than 1,000 people dead from Myanmar to Thailand.

The earthquake in central Myanmar last Friday killed 3,085 people and injured 4,715, the junta has said. Hundreds more are missing and the toll is expected to rise.

B ANGKOK — The death toll from the massive earthquake that hit Myanmar nearly a week ago rose Thursday to 3,085 as search and rescue teams found more bodies, the military-led government said, and humanitarian aid groups scrambled to provide survivors medical care and shelter.

Large quakes produce shaking at a variety of frequencies. Some waves can travel hundreds of miles, and are amplified by local geological conditions.

Data from the USGS shows that the epicenter of the Myanmar earthquake was particularly shallow, at just 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) below the surface. Together with the supershear nature of the quake, this helps to explain why the shaking was so intense, with buildings collapsing and roads buckling across the country and in Bangkok.

Search teams have pulled more bodies from the ruins of buildings a week after a massive earthquake rocked Myanmar killing more than 3,300 people.
