Due to the Indian Tectonic Plate colliding with the Asian one, earthquakes are a continuing problem in Tibet and southern China. These bring with them the likelihood of landslip, followed by a flash flood as a temporary dam eventually gives way. A different problem is caused by climate change, which brings with it increased glacial melting, and this also carries a risk of serious flooding.
