The Killari 1993 Intracratonic Earthquake– a Comparative Study

S. S. Patil, K. L. Karkare, I. B. Ghorade

Abstract :

An earthquake is the result of the continuous cycle of stress accumulation and strain release along the fault and seismogenic structures in the earth�s crust. The relative rarity and unpredictability in occurrence of earthquake make planning difficult, it encounters barriers in inertia, self interest and long term cost. The Killari type intraplate/intracratonic earthquake is representative of the type of infrequent, but devastating moderate magnitude that occurred in a low seismicity region on a shallow unknown fault [Shedlock and Pasikar, 1994] system.
