Today's earthquake comes less than two weeks after a 7.9-magnitude quake left more than 8,000 dead and 18,000 injured there.  Like that earlier quake, today's earthquake struck less than 50 miles (80 km) from Nepal's capital city of Kathmandu.

Nepal sits on the boundary of the two massive tectonic plates that collided to build the Himalayas. Their ongoing convergence also means earthquakes.
