Question

Why are there no earthquakes on the country you mentioned

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes! Here is your answer!

Explanation:

The whole country is in a very active seismic area, and they have the densest seismic network in the world, so they are able to record many earthquakes. ... The sparse seismic instrumentation in those areas doesn't allow us to actually record all the smaller earthquakes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The larger part of India rarely faces earthquakes, and those earthquakes that even occur are not of high magnitudes.

Explanation:

India is divided into four zones, Zone II, Zone III, Zone IV, and Zone V, of which the areas in Zone V are the most sensitive to seismic activities and Zone II are the least likely. Of all the places, only the states adjoining the foot of the Himalayan Range (north eastern states, North Bihar, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Northern Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi), The Rann of Kutch, and Andaman and Nicobar islands are in Zone V. These are so because:

• Rann of Kutch has an intercontinental fault, faults being earthquake sensitive areas,
• The areas adjoining the Himalayas are nearby two converging tectonic plates, such areas being earthquake-sensitive area, and
• Andaman and Nicobar islands are located between Indian Plate and Sunda Plate, this zone being between two tectonic plates is earthquake-prone zone.

Since most of the Indian subcontinent is built upon the archaic Dharwad rock that are extremely hard, thus most of the Indian subcontinent faces low intensity earthquakes or low number of earthquakes.
