Northeast India & Shillong Plateau
Where the Indian plate meets both the eastern Himalaya and the Indo-Burman arc, the Shillong Plateau has been thrust upward along the Oldham and Dauki faults. This corner of the subcontinent produced two of the largest continental earthquakes ever recorded: the 1897 Shillong earthquake (Mw ~8.1) and the 1950 Assam–Tibet earthquake (Mw 8.6).
