The region falls in Zone IV of the seismic zoning map of India. Hilly regions of Uttarakhand have past record of several major earthquakes, the most well-known ones being the Uttarkashi earthquake (1991) of magnitude 6.6 and the Chamoli earthquake (1999) of magnitude 6.3. For the present ...
Map showing the evacuation zone around Indian Point Energy Center by the NRDC (via Riverkeeper). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public meeting tonight (Thursday, May 17) on the safety and future of the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC), a nuclear power plant located in Buchanan...
Stretching southeastward from Socotra is the submarine Carlsberg Ridge, which coincides with the belt of seismic activity in the Indian Ocean that divides the Arabian Sea into two major basins—the Arabian Basin to the east and the Somali Basin to the west. The maximum depth of the sea, 19,...
Inset map shows the location of the study area demarcated by red color rectangle. SSZ: Singhbhum Shear Zone, SPSZ: South Purulia Shear Zone, NPSZ: North Purulia Shear Zone, PF: Pingla Fault, GKGF: Garhmayna-Khandaghosh Fault, MKF: Malda Kishanganj Fault, MSRF: Munger Shasarsa Ridge ...
This map was produced using the Generic Mapping Tools56. The seismic velocity anomaly from the S40RTS model was con- verted to a temperature anomaly using results from mineral physics20 (Supplementary Fig. 1). The temperature anomaly from the S40RTS model was imposed within the mantle for ...
Kind and Yuan (2010) presented a comprehensive map of the northern boundary of the Indian lithosphere at 200 km depth inferred from tomography, receiver function and seismic anisotropy measurements. A point of agreement from most previous studies is that the Indian mantle lithosphere advancing ...
