A huge earthquake may be building beneath Bangladesh,the most densely populated nation on earth. Scientists say they fill new evidence of increasing strain there, where two tectonic plates underlie the world's largest river delta. They estimate that at least 140 million people in the region could be affected whether the boundary ruptures; the destruction could near not only from the direct results of shaking, or but changes in the courses of powerful rivers,and in the level of land already perilously close to sea level.
