Nepal frequently experiences earthquakes because it is located on the fault line where the Tibetan and Indian tectonic plates converge, moving about two meters closer to each other each century. This ongoing movement generates pressure that is periodically released in the form of earthquakes. In 2015, a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks claimed the lives of approximately 9,000 people.
