Frequent Earthquakes in North-east

The northeastern region of India falls in seismic zone V under the IS 1893 (2002) classification and is considered among the world’s most earthquake-prone areas because of its complex tectonic and geological setting. The region has witnessed two great earthquakes of magnitude above 8.0 and nearly 20 major quakes measuring between 7.0 and 8.0 since 1897.The first major event, the 1897 Shillong Plateau earthquake, measured 8.1 in magnitude. The second, known as the 1950 Great Assam earthquake, was centered in the Assam syntaxis. In addition to these, several strong tremors over the decades have caused widespread damage across the region.
