A seismic zone is a region classified by its earthquake risk based on geological activity.
India has four seismic zones (2-5), with Zone 5 having the highest earthquake risk and Zone 2 the lowest.
Guwahati, in Seismic Zone-V, is highly prone to earthquakes and has faced significant tremors.
The capital of Jammu and Kashmir falls under Seismic Zone-V, making it susceptible to strong earthquakes.
India’s capital is in Seismic Zone-IV, which increases its vulnerability to earthquake activity.
Mumbai, in Seismic Zone-III, faces risks from both earthquakes and tsunamis due to its coastal location.
Chennai, previously in Seismic Zone-II, is now classified under Seismic Zone-III, indicating higher earthquake risk.
