Which of the following region is in the very high risk zone of earthquakes ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The Himalayan region lies where the Indian plate pushes under the Eurasian plate, and most of it falls in the highest seismic zones (zones IV and V) of India's earthquake zoning map. The Central Indian Highland and most of the Indian desert are in low to moderate zones, and the coastal region as a whole is not a very high risk belt.
