The seismic event during A.D. 1500–1630 may correspond with the 1548 Bengal earthquake, the first recorded large earthquake of Bangladesh. Sand dikes, which reach near the ground surface due to paleo-liquefactions , were confirmed at the trench.
The latest version of seismic zoning map of India given in the earthquake resistant design code of India [IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002] assigns four levels of seismicity for India in terms of zone factors. In other words, the earthquake zoning map of India divides India into 4 seismic zones (Zone 2, 3, 4 and 5) unlike its previous version, which ...
Earthquakes in Bangladesh are frequent and often cause damage. The earthquakes occur due to a convergent boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The reason for the intensity and high frequency of earthquakes is the Indian plate driving into Asia at a rate of approximately 47 mm/year. [1] The following is a list of major earthquakes which have occurred in India , including those with epicentres outside India that caused significant damage or casualties in the country.
An earthquake struck along the border of northeast India and Bangladesh on Monday, sending tremors through the region, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The 5.5 magnitude quake was at a depth of 10 ...

The Mw6.7 earthquake was caused by a strike slip fault in a plate boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plate along the Southern Asian region. The focal mechanism that resulted in the earthquake was the Indian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate at a speed of 48mm/yr. [3] The depth of the epicenter of the earthquake was determined to be 55 km by the USGS.
The 1997 Chittagong earthquake (also known as the Bandarban earthquake) occurred on 21 November at 11:23 UTC in the Bangladesh-India-Myanmar border region. It had a magnitude of M w 6.1. The epicenter was located in southern Mizoram , India.
