    1. Koyna Earthquake (A-III) – 1967 

      • Location: Maharashtra
      • Magnitude: 6.5 (Reservoir-induced seismicity due to Koyna Dam).
      • Impact: One of the strongest earthquakes in peninsular India.
    2. Latur Earthquake (B-I) – 1993 

      • Location: Maharashtra
      • Magnitude: 6.2 (Devastating impact in Killari region).
      • Impact: High casualties due to poorly built structures.
    3. Bhuj Earthquake (C-II) – 2001 

      • Location: Gujarat
      • Magnitude: 7.7 (Severe destruction in Gujarat, especially Kutch).

    • 1934 Bihar-Nepal Earthquake (Magnitude 8.0) – One of the deadliest in India.
    • 1991 Uttarkashi Earthquake (Magnitude 6.8) – Caused landslides in Uttarakhand.
    • 2015 Nepal Earthquake (Magnitude 7.8) – Affected northern Bihar and Nepal.
    Why Are Some Areas More Prone to Earthquakes?
    • Himalayan Region: Collision of Indian and Eurasian plates (high seismic activity).
    • Koyna & Latur (Deccan Plateau): Reservoir-induced seismicity due to dams and faults.
    • Gujarat (Bhuj): Lies on the Kutch seismic fault.
