Why the Bay of Bengal is facing increased seismic activity
Research from IIT Kharagpur indicates that the Bay of Bengal is turning into a zone of high seismic risk. The study highlights that massive sediment deposits from the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, paired with moving tectonic plates, are triggering old underwater faults. This process is raising the chances of intraplate earthquakes occurring off the eastern coast of India.
