Earthquake experts say Saturday's Nepal earthquake did not release all of the pent-up seismic pressure in the region near Kathmandu. According to GPS monitoring and geologic studies, some 33 to 50 feet (10 to 15 meters) of motion may need to be released, said Eric Kirby, a geologist at Oregon State University. The earth jumped by about 10 feet (3 m) during the devastating April 25 quake, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. "The earthquakes in this region can be much, much larger," said Walter Szeliga, a geophysicist at Central Washington University. Seismologists have extensively studied the possibility of damaging earthquakes in the central Himalayas. Through analyzing written histories, looking for clues from damaged buildings and digging along faults, researchers know of several damaging earthquakes in the past, but not their precise size.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69102118 Idiot Indian, earthquakes are how the himalayas were formed. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65301754 Watch who you are calling an idiot. Earthquakes don't form mountains. The tectonic plates colliding together is what forms a mountain. So truth be told, how stupid do you feel? Last Edited by The Uncle on 05/01/2015 09:31 PM |
