Dear Inani,

Thank you for your tryst in bringing relationship between the vegetation and the earth quark. But I am little confuse whether the erase of vegetation leads to any earthquake? Perhaps, both have no relation in between them!
The outer surface of the earth is consist of several plates covering the liquid-lava in the earth’s core. And in time interval, these plates move against each other to get adjusted. This is the main reason that leads to major earthquakes in the world. The Himalayan region is one among the said plates. So, the sub-Himalyan regions are more prone to earthquake.


By the way, I appreciate your tryst to aware people on erase of vegetation. Though it doesn’t prevent earthquake, at least it prevents environmental degradations.

Hi Goldy!

I am sure you did not get the information clear. As the post nowhere mentioned of any direct link of earthquake to vegetation. Its only that if veges were thick, the earthquake would not have led to landslides -- landslides triggered by the quake swept down mountain slopes, taking villages, farms and roads with them... and hence, killing 73,000.
