Karachi, Pakistan’s largest and most populous coastal city, has experienced several minor tremors in recent months, raising concerns among residents about seismic activity in the region.
Experts say Pakistan is prone to earthquakes because it lies along the boundary where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. This geological position often leads to frequent seismic activity across different parts of the country.
