Himalayas
A new analysis of sediment cores from a Nepali lake reveals that major earthquakes in the central Himalayas occur randomly rather than at regular intervals, challenging fears of an imminent massive quake. Researchers identified at least 50 events of magnitude 6.5 or larger over the past 6,000 years, including eight since 1505. This finding suggests the region has experienced more seismic activity than previously thought.
