Earthquake is a violent tremor in the earth’s crust, sending out a series of shock waves in all directions from its place of origin.

Earthquake-prone regions of the country have been identified on the basis of scientific inputs relating to seismicity, the occurrence of earthquakes in the past and the tectonic setup of the region. Based on these inputs, the Bureau of Indian Standards has grouped the country into four seismic zones: Zone II, Zone III, Zone IV and Zone V (No area of India is classified as Zone I).
