🔆 What Makes Afghanistan So Prone to Earthquakes?

📍 Summary:
✅ A 6.3-magnitude earthquake near Mazar-e-Sharif highlights Afghanistan’s high seismic vulnerability — over 355 quakes above magnitude 5 since 1990.
✅ The country lies at the junction of the Eurasian, Indian, and Arabian plates, making it one of the world’s most tectonically active zones.
âś… The northward thrust of the Indian plate against the Eurasian plate is the main cause of frequent tremors.
âś… Eastern and northeastern Afghanistan, including Kabul, face maximum risk, with annual damage estimates of $17 million and recurrent landslides worsening the toll.
âś… Since 1900, Afghanistan has seen around 100 major quakes, including twin disasters in 1998 that killed over 7,000 people.
âś… Experts stress earthquake-resistant structures, retrofitting, and early warning systems using geospatial and remote sensing tools for resilience.

📍 Mains Question:
📝 Explain the geological reasons behind Afghanistan’s high seismicity and suggest disaster-resilient measures suitable for mountainous regions.

Various forms of protest promoted on the messaging platform included general strikes, lunchtime protests and silent sit-ins. End-to-end encryption is an important feature in messaging, as it's the first step in protecting users from surveillance. Telegram has announced a number of measures aiming to tackle the spread of disinformation through its platform in Brazil. These features are part of an agreement between the platform and the country's authorities ahead of the elections in October.
