What are the earthquake zones in India
According to geological experts, about 59 per cent of the total territory of India is considered sensitive to earthquake. Scientists have divided the earthquake sector in India into Zone-2, Zone-3, Zone-4 and Zone-5 i.e. 4 parts. Zone-5 areas are considered the most sensitive, while Zone-2 is considered less sensitive. Delhi, the capital of our country, falls in Zone-4 of the earthquake. Earthquakes of more than 7 intensity can occur here, which can cause great destruction. The Himalayan region in India and some other fault lines (eg Kutch, Northeast India) is high at the risk of earthquake, as the Indian plate is hitting the Eurasian plate.
