Abstract

The seismotectonic of the Kangra–Chamba region, the source zone of the 1905 great Kangra earthquake (M 8.0), has been studied analysing about 350 local earthquakes recorded by broadband seismological network under operation in NW Himalaya. The study reveals that the seismic activity is concentrated to the north of surface trace of the Main Boundary Thrust, Panjal Thrust and Chamba Thrust. The hypocenters are confined within 40 km depth with higher concentration in the uppermost crust. Fault plane solutions of 41 selected local earthquakes are examined. The fault plane solutions for shallow earthquakes (
