उत्तर

People living in the Himalayas are more vulnerable to earthquakes because:

  1. The Indian and Eurasian plates are clashing at the convergent boundary, which is where the Himalayas are situated.
  2. Seismic movements are frequently caused by this tectonic activity.
  3. As a result of the continuous collision, stress builds up and is released as earthquakes.
  4. Vulnerability is increased by the area’s youthful and shaky mountain ranges.
