Earthquakes in Tibet Trigger Flood Alerts in Nepal
On July 30, Tibet experienced two earthquakes within five hours.
The first one was a 4.3 magnitude, followed by a 4.0 magnitude.
Because the quakes were shallow, they increased the chances of damage and aftershocks.
Simultaneously, heavy rain caused the Trishuli River to rise, leading to flood alerts in Nepal.
This region is prone to earthquakes because of the movement of tectonic plates.
The flooding risk remains high due to rain and potential ice melt.
Two earthquakes struck Tibet on July 30.
The first earthquake measured 4.3 in magnitude and the second 4.0.
Both earthquakes were shallow, at 10 km deep.
Heavy rainfall in Tibet caused the Trishuli River to rise.
Flood alerts were issued in Nepal due to the rising river.
