About Nepal
• Earthquakes are the rumblings,
shaking or rolling of the earth's
surface.
• They happen when two blocks
of the earth suddenly slip past
one another, or break apart
from each other as a result of
tension caused by prolonged
energy build up.
• They can be felt as a shock
under your feet, or may be very
powerful and flatten an entire
city.
• They can happen anywhere,
land or sea.
