A seismicity map of that part of the Pakistan-Afghanistan region lying between the latitudes 28° to 38°N and longitudes 66° to 75°E is given using all available data for the period 1890–1970. The earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and above were considered in the preparation of this map. On the basis of this map, it is observed that the seismicity patter...

A seismicity map of the Pakistan-Afghanistan region that lies between the latitudes 280 & 380 N and longitudes 660 & 750 E is given using all available data for the period 1890-1972. The earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and above were considered in preparation of this map. A strain-energy release map for the same period was prepared following the metho...

... To understand the seismicity of a certain region, it is important to study the major geological formations and tectonics of that region. The geology of the north-east Himalayas and the adjoining region has been studied by various researchers (Krishnan et al., 1960;Verma et al., 1980;Kumar et al., 2015;Gogoi et al., 2022). Ancient crystalline rocks have been deposited extensively over the Mikir Hills and the Shillong Plateau and some locations to the north of the Shillong Plateau (Brahmaputra basin). ...
