New York: New research has revealed that the course of the Ganga River has changed due to major earthquakes in less than 2500 years. A researcher’s internal article in this regard has been published in the journal Nature Communications. At that time, the intensity of the earthquake is estimated to be 7.5 or 8. Columbia Climate School’s Lomat-Doherty Earth Observatory and geophysicist professor Michael Schettler said, “There is a change in the course of the river.” But this is a rare event. “There is a need for more research in this regard,” he said.

The Ganga is counted among the great rivers of the world. It flows for about 2500 km. It originates near the India-China border in the Himalayas and flows to the east of Bangladesh. After that, Brahmaputra and Meghna joined together and merged in the house. The researchers got a good idea about this from the satellite images. After that, they saw the course of an ancient river flowing along the Ganges parallel to 62 km south of Bhaka. They said that the earthquake that happened 2500 years ago is the reason.
