Earthquakes in the Himalayan region

Abstract

Himalayan earthquakes have been studied following the method of Benioff and then a comparative study of energy relased by the Himalayan and the world shallow earthquakes is made. Frequency-magnitude analysis of these earthquakes gives the frequency-magnitude relation of the form log N =a -bM where a=8.46±0.07 and b=1±0.8. © 1970 Birkhäuser Verlag.
