– The continued northward movement of the Indian Plate into the Eurasian Plate created the Himalayan mountain range over millions of years.
– This ongoing collision makes the region one of the most seismically active zones in the world.
– Earthquakes in Nepal, Tibet, and northern Pakistan are frequently linked to stress buildup along this tectonic boundary.
