Among past events, the 1819 earthquake (M > 7.5) is well known and is quoted in the early geologic literature for the dramatic coseismic topographic changes associated with it, including the formation of the elevated tract of land called the Allah Bund (Lyell, 1857). Occurrence of two large earthquakes during a short span of 180... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
