Search and rescue operations are continuing after Wednesday's disaster.
搜索和救援行动在周三灾难发生后仍在继续。
Chinese state media has said there are significant casualties, while Nepalese officials describe "huge scale loss". There are risks of more floods: a lake of rising water has formed at a site along the China-Nepal border - prompting fears it could burst its banks.
中国官方媒体称有重大伤亡,而尼泊尔官员则形容"规模巨大的损失"。 还有更多洪水的风险:在中国-尼泊尔边境的一个地点形成了一个上升的水湖-这引发了人们的担忧,它可能会破坏它的银行。
Military teams were brought in to help with rescue and evacuation following the flooding on Wednesday Initial reports of an earthquake on the Nepal-Tibet border led many to believe that a tremor had caused a landslide, which in turn caused the devastating flood.
在周三的洪水之后,军事团队被带到帮助救援和疏散 尼泊尔和西藏边界发生地震的初步报告使许多人认为,地震造成了山体滑坡,这反过来又造成了毁灭性的洪水。
However, the US Geological Survey has clarified that the disaster was caused by a "glacial collapse", which is when a glacier or part of a glacier disintegrates.
然而,美国地质调查局澄清,这场灾难是由"冰川崩溃"引起的,即冰川或冰川的一部分崩解。
The impact of the collapsed glacier hitting the bottom of a valley was so powerful that it registered a magnitude of 5.2, according to USGS data and scientists who have analysed the event.
根据美国地质调查局数据和分析该事件的科学家数据,崩塌冰川撞击山谷底部的冲击力极大,震级达到5.2。
Debris flow from the collapse "caused subsequent catastrophic impacts downstream" the USGS said.
美国地质调查局表示,坍塌产生的碎屑流"在下游引发了随后的灾难性影响"。
Climate change is known to be driving faster glacier melt in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region and, as rescue efforts continue, scientists are trying to piece together the exact order of events.
气候变化已知正在推动兴都库什喜马拉雅地区的冰川加速融化,随着救援工作持续进行,科学家们正试图拼凑事件的确切顺序。
Simon Cook, senior lecturer in energy environment and security at the University of Dundee who specialises in glaciology, said "climate change could have an impact".
邓迪大学能源环境与安全高级讲师、冰川学专业的西蒙·库克表示:"气候变化可能会产生影响。"
Cook said his team had detected that the lower part of a glacier in Nepal near the Langtang Lirung peak - which is approximately 15km (9 miles) west of the site of the floods - had collapsed.
库克表示,他的团队探测到尼泊尔朗塘利龙峰附近的冰川下部——该峰位于洪水地点以西约15公里(9英里)处——已经坍塌。
He estimated that the glacier collapsed in a north-westerly direction and then travelled westwards downstream.
他估计冰川向西北方向坍塌,然后向下游向西移动。
He told the BBC "permafrost is partially holding some mountainsides together, this permafrost is warming and thawing and degrading so you are going to get more landslides".
他告诉BBC:"永久冻土部分将一些山体粘合在一起,这种冻土正在变暖、融化和退化,所以你还会有更多的滑坡。"
Mike Searle, professor of Earth sciences at Oxford University, said the glacier could have collapsed "hours or days" before the flooding hit Nepal and Tibet.
牛津大学地球科学教授迈克·西尔表示,冰川可能在洪水袭击尼泊尔和西藏前"数小时或数天"就已坍塌。
He told the BBC: "I think the sheer wave of debris suggests there was a landslide first, the water built up, (which) dammed the river, and then it burst in one huge great flood."
他告诉BBC:"我认为巨浪表明首先发生了山体滑坡,水积聚,堵住了河流,然后洪水在一场巨大的洪水中爆发。"
One possibility is that water from rainfall or melting ice may have destabilised the ground or ice, triggering a chain reaction.
一种可能是降雨或融化的冰水使地面或冰层不稳定,引发连锁反应。
Scientist will be looking at satellite images of exactly where the landslide occurred, whether any glacial lakes suddenly drained, and where the river might have become blocked, as well as data on recent rainfall.
科学家将查看卫星图像,了解滑坡发生的具体位置、是否有冰川湖突然排干、河流可能堵塞的地点,以及近期降雨数据。
A deluge of material careered towards northern Nepalese towns, including areas popular with mountaineering tourists and pilgrims.

Footage showed a wall of mud and rock sweeping away buildings, roads and vehicles, as people fled the fast-moving wave of material in the Nuwakot region. In one video, a towering wall of water and mud was seen rushing down a gorge along the Trishuli River and enveloping the Rasuvagadhi Border check point, a multi-storey building.
画面显示,一堵泥石墙冲刷建筑物、道路和车辆,人们逃离努瓦科特地区快速流动的物质浪潮。 在一段视频中,一堵高耸的水泥墙沿着特里舒利河的峡谷冲下,包围了拉苏瓦加迪边境检查站——一座多层建筑。
Severe flooding has been reported along the Bhote Koshi, Trishuli and Narayani rivers.
博特科希河、特里舒利河和纳拉亚尼河沿岸均有严重洪水报告。
Deaths have also been reported in villages on the Tibetan side of the border.
藏境一侧的村庄也有死亡报告。
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIDMOD) has warned secondary flooding could occur in the coming days as a result of the debris that washed into the river systems.
国际综合山地发展中心(ICIDMOD)警告称,由于漂流的碎石冲入河流系统,未来几天可能引发二次洪水。
In a report, the ICIDMOD said they are in the process of assessing whether the Trishuli River has been temporarily blocked in narrow sections.
ICIDMOD在一份报告中表示,他们正在评估特里舒利河是否在狭窄河段被暂时封锁。
If it has been blocked, it is at risk of forming a landslide dam - and a second flooding event.
如果被堵塞,就有可能形成滑坡坝——并引发第二次洪水事件。
Authorities and scientists are continuing to evaluate the size, location and stability of any potential blockages. Watch: BBC Nepali's Shreejana Shrestha is at a hospital in Kathmandu, where some survivors are being flown in by helicopter The number of people killed or missing is still becoming clear.
当局和科学家正在持续评估任何潜在堵塞的大小、位置和稳定性。 观看:BBC尼泊尔的Shreejana Shrestha正在加德满都一家医院,一些幸存者正被直升机送往医院 死亡或失踪人数仍在逐渐明朗。
