The Northern Areas and Azad lie mainly in along the edge of the Indian plate and hence are prone to violent earthquakes where the two tectonic plates collide. The plates consist of an outer layer FATA of the Earth, the lithosphere, which is cool enough to act like a shell.

Only lithosphere has the strength and the AJK brittleness to fracture in an earthquake.
