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 ...
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.
A 6.0 magnitude earthquake occurred 6 miles (9 km) north-northwest of Dhekiajuli, India, at 7:51 a.m. Wednesday, local time, shaking portions of northeastern India, including Guwahati, Assam, India.
The 2021 Assam earthquake struck 11 km (7 miles) away from Dhekiajuli, Assam, India at 07:51 on April 28, 2021 with a moment magnitude of 6.0 at 34.0 km (21.1 mi) depth. [2] [3] The quake struck with an epicenter 140 km (86 miles) north of the main city of Guwahati. It resulted in two fatalities and at least 12 injuries.
Map showing the epicentre and the areas affected by the 1897 earthquake [5] The Assam earthquake of 1897 occurred on 12 June, in Assam, British India at 11:06 [2] UTC, and had an estimated moment magnitude of 8.2–8.3. [1] It resulted in approximately 1,542 human casualties and caused catastrophic damage to infrastructures.
The region is also prone to earthquake, mild tremors are common, but strong earthquakes are rare. There have been three strong earthquakes: in 1869 the bank of the Barak sank by 15 ft. In 1897 there was a tremor which measured 8.3 on the moment magnitude scale , and another in 1950 which measured 8.6.
A trench investigation conducted across the Dauki Fault at Gabrakhari Village, on the western part of the Dauki fault, inferred the timing of seismic events dating back to A.D. 1500–1630. The seismic event during A.D. 1500–1630 may correspond with the 1548 Bengal earthquake, the first recorded
The 2016 Imphal earthquake occurred on 4 January 2016 at 4:35 a.m. local time (23:05 UTC, 3 January) [2] in Manipur, and had a magnitude of 6.7 Mw. [3] The seismic wave radius travelled over 200 km and shaking was felt in numerous cities, including Imphal, Silchar and Guwahati.
