Seismologic studies of the earth have uncovered new information about the Shimla hills region .It reveals that Shimla is situated on mantle which is thick, heavy, and solid rocky material layer.whereas in normal formation of earth , the lithosphere is the crust about 5 to 30 miles deep and lighter than mantle and the mantle is about 1800 miles thick.So the geologist believe that there had been a major earth quake in this region which has turned the layers of earth up-side - down , the heavy rocks are on top layer and lighter layers of rocks are at lower end . And further believe that due to the weight of heavy rocks of the upper layer this Shimla hills region may collapse any day and would turn into plains.
