1993 Killari earthquake in central peninsular India is the latest intracratonic event to be responsible for a large disaster.
This report summarizes our observations during a ten-day investigation of mesoseismal area of the 1993 Killari earthquake. Several aspects of the earthquake were investigated
Key Information
Location: Centered near the village of Killari, Latur district, Maharashtra State, Central India (18.2N; 76.4E) Main Shock Source Characteristics (USGS): 00:03:53 local time, September 30, 1993 (22:25:53 GMT, September 29); Ma = 6.4; Mb= 6.3; Mw= 6.1; centroid depth = 5km; moment tensor solution yields an almost pure thrust with quasi-horizontal P axis striking N31° E.
