US EditionMagnitude 6.0 earthquake hits Indonesia
- A magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck Nepal on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers near coordinates 27.70 N and 86.44 E.
- The earthquake was triggered by the ongoing collision between the tectonic plates of the Indian subcontinent and the landmass to its north, creating a subduction zone in Nepal where built-up pressure is released through seismic events.
- Nepal’s location in the Himalayan region makes it highly earthquake-prone, with shallow quakes releasing more energy and causing stronger ground shocks compared to deeper events.
- The National Center for Seismology noted the quake’s exact time as 10:38:50 IST and stated its shallow depth increases susceptibility to aftershocks.
- The event highlights Nepal’s ongoing seismic risk, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and preparedness due to its active tectonic setting and history of damaging earthquakes.
