The Rann of Kutch (Kachchh) in Western India falls in which siesmic zone ?
Answer: D
The Rann of Kutch lies in Zone V.
The Bureau of Indian Standards' seismic zoning map places Kutch in Zone V, the highest-risk zone, alongside the Himalaya, the North-East and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The 1819 Rann of Kutch earthquake and the 2001 Bhuj earthquake both struck this region.
Zones II, III and IV carry progressively less risk, and most of peninsular India lies in them.
