Abstract

An earthquake of moderate intensity at its origin occurred near Coimbatore on 8 February 1900 and was widely felt over south India.  It has been determined that the earthquake had a magnitude of the order of 6 and depth of 70 kill. The earthquake is significant because of the fact due that in south India we rarely get earthquakes of such depth.
