[C F Andrews] - Describes the scene of the earthquake in North Bihar in 1934 and efforts made for relief. Prior to the development of the magnitude scale, the only measure of an earthquake's strength or "size" was a subjective assessment of the intensity of shaking observed near the epicenter of the earthquake, categorized various seismic intensity scales such as the Rossi-Forel scale.In 1883 John Milne surmised that the shaking of large earthquakes might generate waves detectable around the globe, The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake lasted nearly 10 minutes the longest on record. [3] Englishman John Milne invented the seismograph in 1880. [7] American scientist Charles Richter invented the Richter scale in 1935. [10] There are about 1,300,000 earthquakes per year (two per day) with magnitudes of 2.9 or lower. [10] As discussed earlier, in the process of reconstructing Quetta after the 1935 earthquake, seismic codes were developed and implemented for the first time in the Indian subcontinent. However, this effort remained local and did not spread to the rest of India. As a result of damaging earthquakes such as those in 1934 Bihar Nepal, 1935 Quetta and India has evacuated 1,935 stranded Indians from earthquake-hit Nepal, even as a fresh feeble tremor today jolted the battered Himalayan nation. Stepping up its relief and rescue efforts, India has The Indian subcontinent has a history of earthquakes.The reason for the intensity and high frequency of earthquakes is the Indian plate driving into Asia at a rate of approximately 47 mm/year. The following is a list of major earthquakes which have occurred in India, including those with epicentres outside India that caused significant damage or casualties in the country. The 1934 Nepal Bihar earthquake or 1934 Bihar Nepal earthquake, locally known as Nepal sambat 1049 ya bhukhaay (), 90 saal ko bhukampa (), was one of the worst earthquakes in the history of Nepal and Bihar, India.
