Mw 7.8 Nepal

updated 13 March 2024

report

On 25 April 2015 a major earthquake occurred in Nepal at a depth of 15 km. The seismic event occurred at 06:11:26 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is Earth's conjunction with Mercury and Mars on 22 April 2015.

Earth's critical conjunction on 22 April converged with lunar semi-right geometry involving Mars and Jupiter, which resulted in a high lunar peak. A second lunar peak occurred on 24-25 April as a result of semi-right angles with Saturn and Neptune.

Similar geometry occurred from 28 to 31 December 2023 (compare Japan 2024).
