Why do so many earthquakes occur in Nepal?
Experts believe that the biggest reason for frequent earthquakes in Nepal is the instability of tectonic plates in the Himalayan range. As soon as there is movement in these tectonic plates and they collide with each other, earthquake tremors are felt in Nepal, which is the Terai region of the Himalayas. The devastating earthquake of 2015 was also the result of this tectonic activity.
Strong earthquakes were also felt in 2023

At that time the intensity of the earthquake was measured at 5.2. Earthquake tremors were felt twice more this month. Once the intensity of the earthquake was measured at 4.8 and the second time its intensity was measured at 5.9.
A devastating earthquake came in 2015
If we talk about the earthquakes that came in Nepal in the last few years, then the earthquake that came in 2015 is considered to be the most dangerous. The intensity of that earthquake that came in April 2015 was measured at 7.8. While 9 thousand people lost their lives in that earthquake. More than 22 thousand people were also injured in that earthquake. You can imagine how terrible the earthquake was from the fact that 8 lakh houses were damaged in Nepal due to that earthquake.
