Why do earthquakes come?
Earthquakes are natural phenomena occurring on the surface of the Earth, which are mainly due to stress and activities in the internal structure of the Earth. The main cause of earthquake in India is tectonic activities in the Himalayan region. There is tension here due to a collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is the reason that Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Northeast India are sensitive in terms of earthquake.
