Earthquakes are quite literally groundbreaking
@National Geographic Your video are pretty cool
I see you everywhere
They’re more earthshaking than groundbreaking. Very few show that kind of surface expression. No cracks in any of the dozen I’ve felt (6.5, three 5.0- 5.2, five 4+ and a few little ones, 2.5+.
@National Geographic lol
Lmao I cant
I really love the “poetic” introduction of every NatGeo 101 videos.
who is on a Nat Geo “101” marathon??
@Sora no problem 😊😊
@Rage Raptor same
That happened to us before lol BTW love your Videos Nat Geo
I love this series
@National Geographic yeah im learning alot about science the environment and planets
In short, earthquakes are basically Earth seizures.
XD
That last bit holds true. Makes me wonder the sort of events the dwellers of that time experienced when mountains and canyons were formed.
As a Nepali, I know how devastating it can be
@Dx Fire no I guess you have the misconception about Nepalese language .it was not forced by any Indian king. 1000s of years ago there was same language SANSKRIT in both Nepal and India but later on with the reign of different kings the language began to change and in Nepal nepali language begun from one of the Nepalese king Amshuverma who had written the first grammar book of nepali language. So it’s not like that nepali language was forced upon us and I think the Nepalese people you had met all live in abroad and thought that their standard or their prestige would be low if they don’t speak in English.
@Dx Fire My bad, I grew up thinking “Nepali” was the official language of Nepal and “Nepalese” was the nationality of Nepal.
However, that still does not change the fact that if you are born on the soil of Nepal, you are citizen of Nepal, even if you are different from or hate the cultures and the official language of Nepal.
@Dx Fire Also with regard to your earlier comment, I have never heard of the terms such as “Indian Nepalis” or “Nepalese Nepalis”. Nepal has a vareity of ethnic groups such as the Newar, Gurungs, Rai, Limbu etc. All these groups are all united under a common nationality which is Nepalis. I don’t know where you’re getting the term “Indian Nepalese”, unless you’re referring to the people living in the Terai.
Dx Fire I know it, actually the word Nepal is for Kathmandu Valley and so the language Newari is Nepali, Khas language is the language of what we perceive as Nepali. The indigenous people weren’t forced at large scale. For ex. English is the official language of British countries but others also learn it because it is international+dominant language. In that way khas became the language the indigenous had to learn in order to communicate with the superior Brahmins and Chhetri. As a result some people don’t speak same accent even if it is their first language. I agree that in around 400 AD Indian rajput and others came to influence the culture and bring prosperity in Kathmandu and surrounding areas. Kirat kingdom gone after that. I’m not sure about burning of written works.
Also don’t forget that some indigenous people of Nepal originated from India. Some of them were banished to the hills like ‘Shakhya’.
One source said that a person living in The East Asia only (320 B.C.) is the ancestor of all humans living today. In Europe a person living just 800 year ago is the forefather of all the Whites. Ex. Charlemagne could be one of them.
Some people also get misconceptions about indigenous people being only mongoloid. A lot of Tibetans and Mongols migrated to Nepal during famine and starvation as recently as 800-200 years ago.
My forefathers came from Indus Valley Civilization through India and they had been migrating to the hills since a long time to finally reach a place. So, in the past it was usually and mainly due to migration that there are these races or ethnicities of population in Nepal. Anyway Nepal is a very new country formed in 1763 AD and boarders have changed a lot since then. So no need of Discussion !!
🙁

I’m so, so happy when I find some science documentaries that are appropriate for my 6th graders!
Did you tell your students to ignore the “today” (or to understand “click bait) on this video about past events? Hope so! Teach them good manners!
