The Dauki fault is a major fault along the southern boundary of the Shillong Plateau that may be a source of destructive seismic hazards for the adjoining areas, including northeastern Bangladesh. [1]

The Dauki fault passes along the southern margin of the Shillong Plateau. The plate boundary mega-thrust between the Indian and the Burman plate around Bangladesh is divided into the Tripura...

Jul 17, 2022 · The Dawki Fault has been considered as thrust fault and identified as the main structural feature in the study area and also a zone of distributed deformation rather than a single fault.

Dec 26, 2024 · We model the source mechanisms of six recent moderate-to-strong intraplate earthquakes (5.0≤ Mw ≤6.7) using teleseismic P- and SH-waveform inversion and use source directivity and rupture back-projection, for the largest event, to isolate the fault plane.

Jan 8, 2018 · The Dawki Fault is the northernmost passive margin rift fault at the paleo continent-ocean boundary marked by the Eocene hinge zone. The N-S convergence and underthrusting of the Indian Plate beneath the Himalaya has reactivated the Dawki Fault due to flexural loading and transition in crustal structure south of the plateau.

Nov 5, 2015 · The Dawki fault, which bounds the Shillong Plateau to the south and stands out as a ∼1 km high cliff overlooking the Bengal Basin, did not produce any moderate-to-strong earthquakes within the past 30 years.

Dec 1, 2012 · The Dauki fault is a major fault along the southern boundary of the Shillong plateau that may be a source of destructive seismic hazards for the adjoining areas, including northeastern...

The Dawki Fault has been considered as thrust fault and identiBed as the main structural feature in the study area and also a zone of distributed deformation rather than a single fault.

Jul 17, 2022 · In this paper, we observed the tectono-geomorphological changes along the Dawki Fault and adjoining areas of Sylhet, Bangladesh using multitemporal Landsat satellite imageries from 1980 to 2020.

The study identified sites preserving active faulting signatures and houses built in slopes prone to earthquake-induced landslides. The proposed study is essential for studying the tectonically active segments of the shillong plateau and understanding the palaeo-earthquake history to minimize seismic hazards.
