EXPLAINED: Nepal's Vulnerability to Earthquakes| Why so many quakes in Himalayan regions| Oneindia

Nepal's vulnerability to earthquakes arises from its location at the convergence of the Indo-Australian and Asian tectonic plates, generating seismic pressure. Weak infrastructure, a growing population, and historical seismic events compound risks. The United Nations ranks Nepal 11th globally for earthquake vulnerability. Ongoing pressure under the Himalayas presents a constant threat. #NepalQuakeAlert #EarthquakeVulnerability #HimalayanSeismicRisk #NepalDisasterPreparedness #SeismicScienceChallenge ~HT.98~ED.102~GR.122~
