Magnitude Scale

  • 2.0-3.0: Usually not felt
  • 3.0-4.0: Often felt, rarely causes damage
  • 4.0-5.0: Noticeable shaking, minor damage
  • 5.0-6.0: May cause damage to poorly constructed buildings
  • 6.0-7.0: Can be destructive in areas up to 100 miles
  • 7.0-8.0: Major earthquake, can cause serious damage
  • 8.0+: Great earthquake, can cause massive destruction

Nepal's Seismic History

  • 1934: Bihar-Nepal earthquake (8.0M)
  • 1988: Nepal-Bihar earthquake (6.9M)

Earthquake Science & Technology

How Earthquakes Are Detected

Seismographs measure ground motion and record seismic waves. The USGS uses a network of these instruments to detect and locate earthquakes worldwide.

Earthquake Early Warning

Advanced systems can provide seconds to minutes of warning before shaking arrives. Nepal is developing such systems with international support.

Warning time depends on distance from epicenter
