Meanwhile, a large aftershock occurred on May 12, 2015, the epicenter of this earthquake was near the Chinese border between Kathmandu and Mount Everest. It is estimated that more than 200 people were killed in this earthquake and more than 2,500 people were injured.

Recent studies have found that the Indian plate is sinking under the Eurasian plate at a rate of 5 cm each year, which leads to the formation and increase in height of the Small Himalayas, but also makes the region vulnerable to earthquakes.

The study showed that disasters such as earthquakes can wreak havoc if preparedness is not sufficient.
