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.
