MANIMARAN earthquake scientists is fast intrut bhuj earthquake (2001). while the people of india were busy in celebrating thefirst republic day on jan.26,2001 of the new century in different parts of the country and the programme of display of might of armed forces of the country was in progress in new delhi, the nature demonstrated itsmight by rocking kutch region of guiarat when a severe earthquake struck at 8.45A.M. and shook the region for almost a minute. The main reasons for tha recent bhuj earthquake of 2001 are; sea floor spreading of indian ocean at the rate of 5 cm per year, gradual northward movement of indian plate and reactivated faults below the surface. Two major connecting faults have been located in kutch region. A 200km long and 100km wide fault runs east-west between bhuj and ahmedabad. The second fault measuring 500km in length and 100km in width runs in north-south direction through ahmedabad, mehsana and baroda and is known as comday graben. These subterranean faults intersect each other near viramgam, santhalpur and radhanpur towns and become the pivot of seismic events whenever these are sctivated due to plate movement.
