The severe earthquake recently experienced in Nepal should come as no surprise.
India meets Eurasia, and the Indian plate is trying to go under the Asian one. This ongoing
confrontation is what created the Himalayas to begin with.
Experts predict this is far from over, but techtonic time is such that the big one might come
in some 200 years.
One can expect smaller aftershocks for the immediate future.
