From: Seismic evidence of pop-up tectonics beneath the Shillong Plateau area of Northeast India
Schematic cross section of a pop-up tectonics beneath the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India region. Circles are the relocated earthquake locations from the present study. The seismic velocities (Vp and Vs) for different layers are also mentioned. The seismogenic faults, namely, the north-dipping DT in association with DF in the south and south-dipping BF in the north located either side to the Shillong Plateau that acted as the causative factors for the pop-up. Uneven distribution of seismic velocities in the upper crust is responsible for earthquake genesis of varying strengths.
