The April 2015 Nepal earthquake (Nepali: विसं २०७२ को महाभूकम्प) (also known as the Gorkha earthquake)[6][9] killed over 9,000 people and injured more than 23,000. It occurred at 11:56 Nepal Standard Time on 25 April, with a magnitude of 7.8Mw[1] or 8.1Ms[2] and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of IX (Violent). Its epicenter was east of the district of Lamjung, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 8.2 km (5.1 mi).[1] It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake.
Nepal straddles the fault line between two of these plates; the Indian and the Eurasian plates. These are being forced up against and under each other, at a rate of about 5cm each year.
I think that Naples, Italy is prone to natural disasters because there is a volcano about 9 kilometers from the town called Mount Vesuvius. I think Naples is more likely to experience natural disasters because it has a volcano close to it and it sits along a fault line. http://listverse.com/2010/09/27/8-natural-disasters-of-ancient-times
We generally think of the San Andreas fault or the Pacific Ring of Fire as being the riskiest zones for earthquakes, but not everyone is immediately aware that the Northern Anatolian fault is one of the most dangerous in the world. The entire 13.6 million population of Tehran is exposed, as are the residents of Bucharest, Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, and much of Turkey. The last quake in Tehran was in 1830, and its building regulations are shakily followed at best – making it a city living on borrowed time.
Florida has a lot of hurricanes, because when the waters in the equatorial Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico have warmed enough to help support the development of tropical waves.
I think Mexico because, it has had hurricane's and floods. I think this is more likely to experience a natural disaster because, it is big, and is more likely to have more diasters.
Japan it's on a techtonic plate
