Yeah, the entire Indian subcontinent is bordered by geological faults. The Himalayas are testament to the size and power of the forces involved, having been forced up as a result of constant geological processes. Earthquakes are ridiculously powerful phenomena, and are neither seasonal nor even reliably predictable... scary stuff. My entire country *is* just the eruption of land where two plates are colliding, so it's a particular worry here. The entire nation could easily be affected by a sufficiently large quake...[q=Hawkeye]Wasnt there just a huge India Earthquake about a year ago?[/q]The Iranian city of Bam was levelled by a quake in late 2003, killing over forty thousand people... and the Boxing Day tsunami was triggered by an undersea earthquake.Originally Posted by bipper
