According to Nepal’s National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET), the majority of earthquakes happen in the Alpine belt, which crosses the East Indies, the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Balkans, and the Circum-Pacific belt, which borders the Pacific Ocean.
The plate boundaries account for around 95% of all earthquake activity.

The nation is seismically vulnerable and faces a very high danger of earthquakes, according to the NSET. According to historical data, Nepal could anticipate two earthquakes with a Richter scale magnitude of 7.5-8 every 40 years and one earthquake with a magnitude of 8+ every 80 years.
