    East meets Midwest: An earthquake in India helps hazard assessment in the Central United States

    Description
    The Bhuj earthquake, which occurred on 26 January 2001 in the State of Gujarat, India, is described and parallels drawn with earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone, Mississippi Valley, USA. Both are ancient failed-rift zones and are intraplate settings located far from plate boundaries. This fact sheet (FS-007-02, March 2002), which includes maps and photographs, has been produced by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) following visits of US scientists to Gujarat to learn lessons that they could then apply in the USA.
