the himalayan regions is more prone to earthquake because it is
Answers
Answer:
The Himalayas have been formed as a result of the collision between the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate. The Indian plate has been moving North for millions of years now and the rocks on the periphery of both these plates have undergone tremendous pressure which has ultimately given rise to the Himalayas. This has given rise to a large number of reverse faults in the Himalayas. At a certain point pressure along these faults causes them to move . This movement on a regional scale is what we experience as an earthquake. The frequency of earthquakes in the Himalayas is high because of the speed at which the Indian plate is moving. Mount Everest is increasing in height at a rate of about 5cm/year, which is very fast as compared to other orogenies.
