Question: why is guwahati prone to earthquakes?
Answer: A: Because, like almost all areas prone to earthquakes, it is situated near the boundary between two tectonic plates - in this case the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. ... This is causing the Eurasian Plate to deform, and the Indian Plate to compress at a rate of 4 millimetres (0.16 in) per year.”
