Why is the frequent earthquake in the Himalayas?
Geneva: Frequent earthquake events occur frequently in the mountainous regions, but why are there so many earthquakes in high mountains such as the Himalayas? Researchers from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, discovered the mystery.
Researchers said that due to frequent clashes between tectonic plates, earthquake trends are high in this mountainous region. Not just in the Himalayas; Earthquake rates are much higher in the Alps, Appennis and Zagros. The higher the height of the mountain, the higher the earthquake rate.
The earthquake shook the Gorkha-Nepal border in 2015. The magnitude of the Richter scale was 7.8. Nissia and Italy also shook the Richter scale after one year. The height of these two earthquakes is responsible.
Why there is so much earthquake in the mountainous region? The research was going on for a long time on that issue. Increase the height of the mountain. The more likely the collision between the tectonic plates increases. The temperature is also responsible for this earthquake. When the temperature falls, the probability of earthquake increases. A professor at Zurich University said that the earthquake in the mountainous region is a terrible form. Researchers have highlighted this whole issue through a 2D model.
