The tremors of the earthquake were also felt in India and people could be seen rushing out of their homes and cities in Patna, Gurgaon and Delhi. The earthquake has just come after the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25, 2015.he second earthquake, which came after a gap of approximately 30 minutes, had its epicentre 33 km (21mi) from Ramechhap and 83km (52mi) east of the capital city of Kathmandu. Tremors of the earthquake could be felt as far away as North India in cities like Srinagar, Amritsar, Lucknow and Jaipur.
The earth's atmospheric helium is replaced by the decay of radioactive elements in the earth's crust. Alpha decay, one type of radioactive decay, produces particles called alpha particles. An alpha particle can become a helium atom once it captures two electrons from its surroundings.
Experiments and the high density of diamonds tell us that they crystallize at very high pressures. In nature this means that diamonds are created by geologic processes at great depth within Earth, generally more than 150 kilometers down, in a region beneath the crust known as the mantle. Other processes, explored later in this exhibition, bring diamonds to where people can find them. This diagram shows the interior structure of Earth. The three concentric layers -- the core, mantle, and crust -- formed within a few hundred million years of Earth's coalescence 4.5 billion years ago. The core is primarily an iron-nickel alloy and makes up a large fraction of the mass of Earth.
