Magnitude 4.1 Earthquake Strikes Nepal
A small earthquake happened in Nepal on Sunday morning.
It was a magnitude 4.1, which means it was not very strong.
The earthquake happened at a depth of 5 kilometers, which is considered shallow.
Shallow earthquakes can be more dangerous because they cause stronger shaking on the ground.
Nepal often has earthquakes because it is located where two big pieces of the Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, are pushing against each other.
This causes a lot of pressure and stress, which is released as earthquakes.
There have been other small earthquakes in Nepal recently, including one on November 30 and another on November 6.
An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 struck Nepal on 07/12/2025 at 08:13:04 IST.
The earthquake occurred at a depth of 5 kilometers, making it a shallow earthquake.
Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous due to stronger ground shaking and increased damage.
Nepal is highly earthquake-prone due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
Earlier earthquakes of magnitudes 4.2 and 3.6 struck Nepal on November 30 and November 6, respectively.
