Earthquakes on the Indian Plate

A live map of recent seismic activity along the Indian Plate boundary.

The Indian Plate collides with Eurasia to build the Himalaya, the source of great earthquakes across Nepal, northern India and Pakistan. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Indian Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
