“…Unlike in the western Himalaya where the earthquakes mostly occur on the plane of detachment and fairly fit with the envisaged seismotectonic model (Seeber et al 1981), the eastern or northeastern Himalayan earthquakes do not fit into this model (Kayal 2001(Kayal , 2010. Long transverse structures across the eastern and northeastern Himalayas, like those of the East Patna fault and Tista lineament in the eastern Himalaya, and the Kopili fault and Dhubri/Jamuna fault in the northeastern Himalaya play a major role in generating earthquakes in the foredeep and foothills region (Mukhopadhyay 1984, Dasgupta et al 1987.…”

“…Although the 1897 great earthquake was assigned to be a Himalayan earthquake (Seeber et al 1981), it is now argued to be a shield intra-plate earthquake due to pop-up tectonics of the Shillong plateau England 2001, Kayal et al 2006). The 1950 great earthquake occurred at the syntaxis zone, and is argued to have occurred by a strike slip mechanism compatible with the strike slip regime in the syntaxis zone (Ben Menahem et al 1974, Armijo et al 1989, Kayal 2010, rather than a pure thrust mechanism (Chen and Molnar 1990).…”

“…Large isostatic anomalies may exist in the areas where tectonic forces are active, therefore, the most important feature of the seismic activities determined by height, so the most seismicity areas overlaid on regions where topographic loading is big or the gradient of the gravity anomalies is high (Seeber et al 1981;Keary and Vine 1996;Jackson and McKenzie 1984;Moores and Twiss 1995;Dalmayrac and Molnar 1981;Zamani and Hashemi 2000).…”

“…occur at a shallower depth (10-20 km), above the plane of detachment (Seeber et al 1981, Ni and Barazangi 1984, Kayal 2001, 2008. The Indian plate is underthrusting the Eurasian plate along a low-angle (5-158) thrust plane called the detachment plane (figure 1).…”

“…The Indian plate is underthrusting the Eurasian plate along a low-angle (5-158) thrust plane called the detachment plane (figure 1). In a seismotectonic model of the MHSB, Seeber et al (1981) and Ni and Barazangi (1984) suggested that below the MCT lies the basement thrust front (BTF) or a ramp, the transition zone between the plane of detachment and the basement thrust to the north. They further envisaged that the ramp below the MCT acts as a geometrical asperity for stress concentration for the MHSB earthquakes.…”
