Earthquake

Nepal is one of the high risk countries regarding earthquake. This does not mean that earthquake in a large scale occurs here every day or even a month but past events has shown that there is a high risk of earthquake every 50 years. The reason why there is a risk of earthquake is because of the plates underneath. The so called Indian Plates move every year 5 cm against the Eurasian plate. This causes the himalayas to be pushed up. This is a process that has been going for million of years. The earthquake of 2015 in April is one of the latest high scale (Magnitude 7.8 with a depth of 8.2 km) earthquake that resulted in a big economic and geographic catastrophe in this Himalayan country. This earthquake resulted the killing of around 9000 people and 22000 were injured.
