The M-w 8.6 and 8.2 strike-slip earthquakes that struck the northeast Indian Ocean on 11 April 2012 resulted in coseismic deformation both at near and distant sites. The slip distribution, deduced using seismic-wave analysis ...
Spectacular landforms and extraordinary geological features sculptured by uncommon earth processes occur in different parts of the Indian subcontinent. Presumably, unable to unravel the mysteries of their origin, and ...
