AN INTEGRATED DESIGN FOR EARTHQUAKE ENERGY RELEASE AND FORECAST MODEL DEVELOPMENT

The seismogenic behaviour observed by the recent strain energy release has been studied by dividing the region into in the six geo – tectonic block in North-East India. It has been found that the Arakan – Yoma to be seismically active followed by Naga Hills region. It also shown that the probability of occurring an earthquake is more in the Shillong Plateau than the other five tectonic blocks. For the region as a whole there is the probability that an earthquake of intensity is determined for unifying” slip − dependent law determined from strain energy bearing capacity of the region. Moreover, it has also been found that if strain energy released by a tectonic block is large it might affect the stress building process in the rocks of adjacent tectonic blocks. The iso-strain release map depicted areas of high and low seismic activity. We also identified a zone of future earthquake activity in the Indo-Myanmar border based on the study and developed an integrated functional block diagrams as part of the study. The first part of block identified the observational scenario of earthquake activity using precursory activity while the second is a knowledge drive expert system to identify the root cause of earthquake activity in any geo-tectonic region
