Why the recent 6 4 magnitude earthquake should be a wake-up jolt for Assam

The earth cracked near the epicentre in the Sonitpur district, and so did walls and ceilings of people’s houses scores of miles in the radius; buildings swayed “like betel nut trees in the wind”, a hill broke down, and water seeped out of paddy fields.

Strong earthquake jolts Assam - Temblor net

Strong earthquake jolts Assam A strong earthquake rocked the northeastern Indian state of Assam on Wednesday morning at 7:51 am local time. The National Centre for Seismology (NCS), India’s agency responsible for monitoring earthquakes via a regional network of seismic stations, determined that the magnitude-6.4 event struck 4.8 miles (7.7 kilometers) northwest of the town of Dhekiajuli and 26.7 miles (43 kilometers) west of Tezpur, a city on the banks of the Brahmaputra River. The NCS reports that the quake ruptured at a depth of 10.5 miles (17 kilometers). The United States Geological Survey and European Mediterranean Seismological Centre both report that the event registered as a magnitude-6.0 earthquake. They calculated this magnitude using teleseismic data collected from stations located more than approximately 620 miles (1000 kilometers) from the quake.
