The Himalaya Connection

The collision zone of the massive Indian and Asian tectonic plates is one of the most seismically active places on Earth. These plates trace an arc beneath the Himalaya Mountains and run south below the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, an area that is inhabited by millions of people. THE HIMALAYA CONNECTION follows earth scientists working in seven countries who are urgently investigating this area of high risk. Their painstaking work leads them to uncover a gigantic, dangerous, and previously unknown earthquake fault, putting 140 million people at risk.
