Know why this area remains disturbed
About 40 million years ago, the Indian subcontinent collided with the Eurasian plate. Because of this, the Himalaya Mountains were formed. Even today this mountain is rising one cm high every year. Because of this movement, earthquakes often occur here.

Because of this earthquake occurs in the Himalayan region. Afghanistan, Pakistan, and some parts of North India fall in the Himalayan range. Because of this, there is always a risk of an earthquake here.
