Earthquakes are common in India due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates forming the Himalayan mountains. Some major earthquakes include the 1993 Latur earthquake that killed over 10,000 people, and the 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake along the Main Central Thrust fault. Studying earthquakes created by reservoirs, such as at Koyna, provides insights into how stress changes can trigger seismic activity. Public education efforts have increased awareness of earthquakes in India following destructive events and new monitoring technologies.
