Siwalik Range (Himalaya)

The Himalayas formed due to collision between two gigantic continental crust India and Eurasia, source of numerous river like Ganga, Indus, Brahmaputra that are life line for the civilization in the Indian sub-continent.

Himalayan region witnessed several great earthquakes in the past and many more yet to come, and its an unsolved mystery for the scientists to predict when and where an earthquake can occure. Though Geophysicist and Geologist doing their level best to understand the mechanism and percussion of the earthquake, to make a better contigent plan, and mitigate adverse impact of the earthquakes on the society.
