Although nuclear testing ceased in 2017, the region has seen years of rising seismic activity. These explosions reactivated dormant fault lines, transforming the mountain site into an earthquake hot spot. Some reports suggest these awakened fault lines point toward a large volcano located on the border with China.Why it mattersUnderground nuclear detonations create massive pressure shifts in the earth's crust. This seismic instability can trigger secondary quakes
