उत्तर
People living in the Himalayas are more vulnerable to earthquakes because:
- The Indian and Eurasian plates are clashing at the convergent boundary, which is where the Himalayas are situated.
- Seismic movements are frequently caused by this tectonic activity.
- As a result of the continuous collision, stress builds up and is released as earthquakes.
- Vulnerability is increased by the area’s youthful and shaky mountain ranges.
