Kutch & Gujarat

An ancient rift basin reactivated by the northward push of the Indian plate, Kutch is one of the most seismically active intraplate regions on Earth. The 1819 Allah Bund earthquake raised a scarp some 90 km long, and the 2001 Bhuj earthquake (Mw 7.7) killed about 20,000 people across Gujarat.
