A DEVASTATING earthquake claiming around 8,000 lives last April left enough energy in the ground to fuel another huge natural disaster, scientists have warned. Fourteen months ago a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck destroying buildings and moving the city 10 feet southwards. But scientists say there could be worse around the corner. There were more than 100 aftershocks, following the quake, but a study has shown there remains in the ground enough pent-up energy to cause another of a similar strength. Scientists have found that the Himalayan region's fault lines have not moved since 2015, meaning they are locked, accumulating further strain. The study, to understand the aftermath of last year's earthquake and vulnerability of the region, said strain built up in the region's faults, could bring worse damage, if released quickly. It was enabled after an international team of scientists set up a series of GPS receivers to monitor any movements and InSAR—interferometric synthetic aperture
