Idukki Earthquake and the Associated Tectonics from Gravity Study
Abstract
The Idukki earthquake with epicentre around Nedumkandam, approximately 20 km east of the Tdukki reservoir, has been in the news. A detailed gravity profile from Bangalore to Trivandrum across Cardamom-Palni hill ranges has delineated a fault type of anomaly coinciding with the epicentre of the earthquake whose modeHing suggests a shallow fault extending up to 10-11 km. This feature being associated with a thick crust in this region controlled by deep faults might have got reactivated to cause this earthquake.Downloads
