High Magnitude Earth Quakes Expected

In the Jammu and Kashmir region. The Himalayan region is quite a shaky place because of the seismic imbalances constantly caused by the continental shift. They are formed due to continental collision between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate (source: Wikipedia). The Himalayas rise 5 mm per year and that’s why the region is so unstable.
