Why is there a danger of earthquake in western Nepal?

The strong earthquake that occurred in western Nepal on Friday has attracted the attention of scientists. Scientists have found in the study that immense seismic energy has been accumulating under the earth’s surface in western Nepal for about 500 years. Therefore, experts have warned that in the coming time, there is a possibility of an earthquake of intensity eight or more on the reactor scale. BBC Nepali Service quoted Lokvijay Adhikari, senior divisional seismologist of Nepal’s National Seismological Center, as saying that about 10 earthquakes of magnitude more than 2 occur every day in Nepal.
