Abstract

A macroseismic study of the calamitous Koyna earthquake of 10 December 1967, 22h 51.3m GMT and the Andhra Pradesh earthquake of 13 April 1969 has been made and the results presented in this paper. These disturbances, particularly the former one, possess many special features warranting stud of the various aspects. Further, the microseismic parameters of the Koyna earthquake, such as, the depth o focus, magnitudes etc, as published from different centres are at variance with one another beyond reasonable limits of reconciliation. A fresh examination of the position using different techniques was, therefore, felt necessary.
