A recent study has suggested that the Kutch Mainland Fault (KMF), which has been dormant for the last 1,000-odd years, has been accumulating stress within and could trigger an earthquake.
About:
The Kutch Mainland Fault (KMF) is the major east-west trending fault. The fault line extends for over 150 km from Lakhpat to Bhachau.
The study also gives evidence that there were four major earthquakes on KMF between 5600 and 1000 BP (before present), a time scale used by geologists to define events that happened before the origin of radiocarbon dating technology in the 1950s.
