Earthquake of 7.1 magnitude felt in India: Why Earthquakes happen and is India in danger zone
The 2015 Nepal earthquakes caused significant destruction, leading to severe loss of life and infrastructure. Recently, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on January 7, 2025, near the Nepal-Tibet border was felt in North India. India’s geographical position at tectonic plate boundaries makes it prone to earthquakes, particularly in the Himalayan and Northeast regions.
