  Lithostratigraphy.  The element of stratigraphy that deals with the description and nomenclature of the rocks of the Earth based on their lithology and their stratigraphic relations. Lithostratigraphic classification.  The organization of rock bodies into units on the basis of their lithologic properties and their stratigraphic relations. Lithostratigraphic unit.  A body of rocks that is defined and recognized on the basis of its lithologic properties or combination of lithologic properties and stratigraphic relations. A lithostratigraphic unit may consist of sedimentary, or igneous, or metamorphic rocks. Lithostratigraphic units are defined and recognized by observable physical features and not by their inferred age, the time span they represent, inferred geologic history, or manner of formation. The geographic extent of a lithostratigraphic unit is controlled entirely by the continuity and extent of its diagnostic lithologic features. Kinds of lithost...

Nepal Himalaya lies in the active seismic belt. Seismicity in the Himalaya is the consequence of the collision of the Indian Plate with Eurasian plate. Nepal is exposed to most disaster types including earthquakes, floods, landslides, droughts, storms, avalanches, hailstorms, fires, epidemics and ecological hazards. A wide range of physiological, geological, tectonic, ecological, meteorological and demographic factors contribute to the vulnerability of the country. Earthquake can neither be predicted nor stopped the only way to minimize its impact is to take safety measures. HISTORICAL AND PAST DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES IN NEPAL Source: Historical Earthquakes of Nepal ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT The National Council for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, chaired by the Prime Minister, and the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Executive Committee, chaired by the Home Minister, are the top policy bodies for disaster management. Under them, the National Disast...
