KATMANDU, Nepal — There has not been a day in the two years I have lived in Nepal that I haven’t thought about earthquakes. They were, in many ways, my obsession.

Katmandu sits on a major geological fault, and the Big One has been long overdue. My husband always tried to get me to laugh it off. “Earthquakes aren’t like pregnancies,” he said. “They don’t have due dates.” Besides, we had lived through three small quakes. No big deal.

Nepal Earthquakes And Global Warming

By Dr. Vivek Kumar Srivastava

One of the most significant features of contemporary Homo sapiens is that they wake up after the mishappening has taken place. They take no proactive measures on the issues of the natural disasters. Earthquakes in Nepal-India are its glaring illustration where Homo sapiens has failed to exhibit its intelligence.

But one thing is common in both that both are underground abnormal earth’s activities. This also requires a deep investigation, whether any change in the pressure on the earth’s crust or inside deep areas have any adverse impact on the development of these natural disasters.
