2021 Assam earthquake
The tectonics of the Assam region is dominated by convergence of the India, Burma and Eurasian plates. Major fault structures like the Main Frontal Thrust, Main Boundary Thrust and Main Central Thrust, all splay branches of the Main Himalayan Thrust, accommodate the shortening rate as India is pushing into Asia.The large 8.6 M w Assam-Tibet earthquake in 1950 was a megathrust earthquake that ...
A wake-up jolt? Assam's 6.4 quake exposes its vulnerabilities
Assam's 6.4 quake exposes its vulnerabilities. A 6.4 magnitude earthquake, measured on the Richter scale, rocked Assam in the early hours of April 28 this year. Two people died of shock and there was a lot of damage to property. There were at least 20 aftershocks. Soil liquefaction, when water seeps from the ground, was seen in places near ...

On April 28 2021, an earthquake of MW 6.4 occurred near Sonitpur, Assam, India. The epicenter was 43 km away from Tezpur, Assam with a focal depth of 34 km. The National Center for Seismology (NCS), Delhi reported the maximum intensity of MMI-V whereas the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported the maximum intensity of MMI-VII. Preliminary reports suggest a reverse slip component for ...

The northeastern part of India is seismically very active due to the ongoing Indian Plate under-thrusting and rise of several mountain ranges. As a result, the Himalayas, Naga Hills, Shillong-Karbi Massifs, and the Assam Valley have many crustal-scale active faults. These faults often cause moderate to large earthquakes while releasing the accumulated stress associated with Plate tectonics. In ...

Earthquake monitoring in India: a status report (2019-2023)
Earthquake monitoring is critical to understand dynamic rupture processes, identification and characterization of active faults and zoning of regions based on ground shaking levels. Continuous seismic monitoring, indeed provides valuable data to evaluate seismic hazard, which is key to estimate the impact of earthquakes on society and mitigate the same, ideally in near real time. Moreover, it ...

Earthquake safety in India: achievements, challenges and opportunities
The Indian subcontinent has suffered some of the greatest earthquakes in the world. The earthquakes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries triggered a number of early advances in science and engineering related to earthquakes that are discussed here. These include the development of early codes and earthquake-resistant housing after the 1935 Quetta earthquake in Baluchistan, and ...
