Open discussion molto interessante in: Archives of the Central U.S. Earthquake Hazard Mailing List
Il terremoto che il 26 gennaio ha colpito la regione piu' occidentale dell'India e' avvenuto in un'area conosciuta come molto attiva sismicamente, collocata a circa duecento km dal margine ovest fra la placca indiana e quella euroasiatica.

Un terremoto di energia paragonabile (M circa = a 8) era avvenuto nel 1819, ma aveva prodotto vittime e danni in quantita' molto inferiore a quello attuale, a causa della minore concentrazione di popolazione e di edifici.

L'area era individuata fra quelle a maggior pericolosita' sismica del sub-continente indiano da parte del progetto internazionale Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program - GSHAP.
