“…In addition to the earthquakes in the Kachchh region, two other events (1969 M w 5.3 Mt. Abu and 2009 M w 5.1 Barmer at 15 and 39 km depth, respectively) were also reported along regional fault systems demarcating the area (Khan et al, 2016).…”

“…The 2001 M w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake was considered to be the result of stress propagation from the Himalayas (Copley et al, 2011) or the Suleiman Range (Stein et al, 2002;Khan et al, 2016). The analysis of Khan et al (2016) indicates that the far-field stress generated by the collision resistance between the Indian and Eurasian plates and anticlockwise rotation of the Indian plate are the main factors behind the stress accumulation in the western India and its periodic release through earthquakes. In addition to the earthquakes in the Kachchh region, two other events (1969 M w 5.3 Mt.…”

“…The development of the deformation zone in the north‐eastern Indian Ocean is reported to have been initiated in the Early Miocene at 18–14 Ma (Bull, DeMets, Krishna, Sanderson, & Merkouriev, ; Krishna et al, ). The active resistance during underthrusting of the Indo‐Australian Plate along the Himalayan boundary initiated the reverse transmission of a compressive stress field within the plate interior, which accounts for the occasional incidences of great intraplate earthquakes (Aggarwal, Khan, Mohanty, & Roumelioti, ; Khan, Ansari, & Mohanty, ; Khan, Mohanty, Sinha, & Singh, ) and the neotectonic activities (Biswas, ). The deformation of the Indo‐Australian lithosphere, unconformity in the floor of the Bay of Bengal, concomitant folding and faulting in the equatorial Indian Ocean, and the lateral evolutions of basins and ridges near the foothills of the Himalayas are the tectonic responses that evolved during the Oligocene‐Miocene time (Ansari & Khan, ; Cochran, ; Curray, ; Gordon, , and references therein).…”
