Broach (Gujarat) earthquake of March 23, 1970

Abstract

An analysis of the seismicity of Broach region, Gujarat (India) has been made. The activity of the network of faults present in this region, perhaps, has been responsible for the present earthquake. Earthquake energy, magnitude and focal depth are connected by a single equation. An empirical relation for focal depth and magnitude has been derived for the area. © 1972 Birkhäuser Verlag.
