Jayashree NandiAU SCIENTISTS’ DISCOVERY: 1.4k million years old evidence of >5 magnitude earthquakes found in Chitrakoot
Researchers from Allahabad University have discovered evidence of paleo-earthquakes that rocked the Chitrakoot-Satna boundary region of Uttar Pradesh around 1.4 billion years ago. Soft-sediment deformed structures (SSDS) were found on the Hanumandhara Hill, which reflect underground changes and provide proof that the region experienced earthquakes of over 5 on the Richter scale. This discovery emphasises the need to study underground changes in a new way, and not assume that central India is safe from earthquakes. The study will be published in the Journal of Paleogeography in July 2023.
