Abstract

The aftershock activity associated with five earthquakes in the Nepal-India border, Kashmir, Kashmir, Tibet border (Ladakh) and West Pakistan was studied in relation to the magnitude strain release time and spatial distribution.

The study showed that the rate of decay of aftershock activity may be relates to the differences in the mechanical structures of the crust. The value of constant b in Gutenberg and Rlohter's magnitude frequency relationship may not reflect the seismotectonics of different regions.
