...A. P. Singh; N. Purnachandra Rao; M. Ravi Kumar; M.‐C. Hsieh; L. Zhao Abstract The Burmese arc is a peculiar plate boundary where there exists an eastward subducted Indian slab, but the current tectonics of the region are predominantly governed by a northward strike‐slip motion of the Indian plate...

... Sunda Arc, which includes the Indo-Burmese wedge (IBW) in the forearc and the Sagaing fault in the backarc, are very poorly constrained. Plate reconstruction models and geological structures in the region suggest that subduction in the IBW occurred in the geological past, but whether it is still active...

... in the Himalaya and Burmese arc. Non-stationary Poisson distribution provides a good fit to analyse earthquake sequence for the entire area of eastern-northeastern India and two subareas within it, viz., the Himalaya and the Burmese arc. For the entire area there is a 90% probability for the occurrence...

..., the seismic moment is the best estimated parameter compared to others, such as the corner frequency. Our estimates of moment magnitudes are within the range of 10 14 –10 20 (N·m), with the crack radii being less than ∼12 km. The nonuniform distribution of the static stress drop along the Himalaya, Burmese arc...

Seismotectonic Map of Northern Burmese Arc (NBA); earthquake data period: 1954 through 2010, data source cited in text; precursor studies carried with earthquake events that locate within the rectangular areas marked Zones I and II. Black stars 1 to 6 are large Benioff zone earthquakes...

... shear occurs at the junction of the Himalayan and Baluchistan arcs and may have influenced the development of the western Himalayan syntaxis. A similar belt of right-lateral shear is suggested at the junction of the Himalayan and Burmese arcs (eastern Himalayan syntaxis). Between the two extremes...

...J. R. Kayal; Dapeng Zhao Abstract Northeast India is bounded by the Himalayan arc to the north and the Burmese arc to the east. The Shillong Plateau and Assam Valley lie at the boundary zone of the two arcs. Three microearthquake surveys were conducted in this area from 1984 to 1986. We have...

...Lukman A. Sunmonu; V. P. Dimri Abstract Northeast India experienced compressive forces from the Himalayan Arc in the north and the Burmese Arc in the east, which led to the development of a number of seismogenic faults, fractures and lineaments. It is observed that the characteristics...

... within the Kashmir Himalaya. In subsequent years, a number of seismological studies were launched, both in network and profile mode, in northeast India covering the Shillong Plateau, the eastern Himalaya, the Indo-Burmese Arc and the Assam valley, and in the northwest Himalaya covering mainly the Kumaun...

In this paper, the group velocity dispersion results and shear velocity structure estimated using regional earthquakes recorded at four 3-component broadband seismographs...
