Nepal's vulnerability to earthquakes

Although Nepal is one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the world, as it lies on the boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Indian plate is constantly sliding northward beneath the Eurasian plate, a process called

subduction. This process creates enormous pressure and stress in the Earth's surface that not only causes frequent earthquakes, but is also responsible for the formation and uplift of the Himalayan mountain range.

Summary

Nepal has a tragic history of seismic events, the most notable being the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in April 2015 that claimed nearly 9,000 lives
