1999 Chamoli earthquake : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1999 Chamoli earthquake
The 1999 Chamoli earthquake occurred on 28 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aftershocks of the March 1999 Chamoli Earthquake and Seismotectonic Structure of the Garhwal Himalaya )〕March 1999 in the Chamoli district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (now in Uttarakhand). The earthquake was the strongest to hit the foothills of the Himalayas in more than ninety years.〔(World: South Asia Quake death toll nears 100 ) ''BBC News''〕 Approximately 103 people died in the earthquake.〔 ==Cause== The Himalaya Range has been undergoing crustal shortening along the 2,400 km long northern edge of the Indian Plate which resulted in the formation of several thrust planes including the Main Central Thrust (MCT), the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). The MCT consists of three sub-thrusts: MCT I, MCT II and MCT III. Many earthquakes have occurred along these thrust faults. Academics believe the Chamoli earthquake in 1999 is associated with these fault systems.〔(Chamoli (Himalaya, India) Earthquake of 29 March 1999 ) ''National Information Center of Earthquake Engineering''〕
