Question of The Day23-05-2024

India is divided into how many earthquake zones (seismic zones)? / भारत को कितने भूकंप क्षेत्रों (भूकंपीय क्षेत्र) में विभाजित किया गया है?

Answer

Correct Answer : b ) 4

Explanation :

The Bureau of Indian Standards has classified areas of India into 4 seismic zones based on historical seismic activity.

Zone II - Low seismicity

Zone III - Moderate seismicity

Zone IV - High seismicity

Zone V - Very high seismicity

This classification helps in designing and constructing buildings and infrastructure that can withstand potential earthquakes.

Hence, (b) is the correct answer.

भारतीय मानक ब्यूरो ने ऐतिहासिक भूकंपीय गतिविधि के आधार पर भारत के क्षेत्रों को 4 भूकंपीय क्षेत्रों में वर्गीकृत किया है।

जोन II - कम भूकंपीयता

जोन III - मध्यमभू कंपीयता

जोन IV - उच्च भूकंपीयता

ज़ोन V - बहुत अधिक भूकंपीयता

यह वर्गीकरण उन इमारतों और बुनियादी ढांचे के डिजाइन और निर्माण में मदद करता है जो संभावित भूकंपों का सामना कर सकते हैं।

अतः, (b) सही उत्तर है।
