Catastrophes that have occurred in India

  "Volcanos"   WEEK 5            India's  has 7 Volcanos but only two are active    Stratovolcano  and  Mud Volcanoes   The first recorded eruption of the volcano dates back to 1787. Since then, the volcano has erupted more than ten times, with the most recent one being in 2022. [11]  After the first recorded eruption in 1787, further eruptions were recorded in 1789, 1795, 1803–04, and 1852. After nearly one and a half  century  of dormancy, the  island  had another eruption in 1991 that lasted six  months  and caused considerable damage. [12] [13] The 1991 eruption was particularly harmful to the island's fauna. A team from the  Geological Survey of India  visited Barren Island on 8–9 April 1993 to assess the impact of the eruption on the distribution, habit, and abundance of animal species. The report found that the eruption had reduced the number of bird species and...

 Week 3: Earth Quakes "Lets shake it up" Earthquake in India Maps    The Indian subcontinent has suffered some of the greatest earthquakes in the world.              Despite these early developments towards seismic safety, moderate earthquakes in India  continue to    cause thousands of deaths.       A brief overview of some significant earthquakes in the Indian  subcontinent.     If you will notice closely most of the earthquakes have been dated at the time of each assurance. It is important to note that the government of India has implemented many projects to counter act the devastation from earthquakes.  The earthquakes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries triggered a number of early advances in science and engineering related to earthquakes that are discussed here. These include the development of early codes and earthquake-resistant housing after the 1935 ...

  India’s Tectonic Plate Boundaries The India Plate is a minor tectonic plate straddling the equator in the Eastern Hemisphere. Originally a part of the ancient continent of Grondwana, the Indian Plate broke away from the other fragments of Gondwana 100 million years ago, and began moving north and carried Insular Día with It. It was once fused with the adjacent Australian Plate to form a single Indo-Austral ante and recent studies that India and Australia have been separate plates for at least 3 million years and likely longer. The Indian Plate includes most of modern South Asia (The India subcontinent and a portion of the basin under the Indian Ocean, including parts of South China and western Indonesia, and extending to but not including Ladakh, Kohistan and Balochistan.   The India plate borders the Eurasia plate on its northern and eastern boundary; Arabian plate on its, western boundary; Somalia, Capricorn, and Australia plates to the south.  ...
