With different geographical structure comes different types of natural hazards. Nepal lies right in the intersection of the Indian and Eurasian plate as you can see in the picture below retrieved from ARCGIS education maps . There are many fault lines going throughout the country horizontally.

But the CCC report found that in the 2080s another 100,000 properties would be at risk of sliding into the sea. The sea levels are expected to rise by over 40 cm.  According to climate change post ,  Observed rates of sea level rise for the east coast of England between Whitby and Cromer range from 1.1 mm/year at Immingham to 2.1 mm/year at Whitby. These raw estimates include natural rates of tectonically induced sea level rise resulting from post-glacial coastal subsidence which are estimated at between 0 and 1.0 mm/year. Projections indicate that by ...
