Detailed Solution

All of the above is the state of India where earthquakes are likely to strike.
An earthquake is the sudden shaking movement of the earth's surface. We can detect earthquakes with an instrument called a seismometer. Since the plates' movement causes earthquakes, the plates' boundaries are the Weak zones where earthquakes are more likely to happen. The weak zones are also known as Seismic or fault zones. In India, the areas most threatened are Kashmir, the Western and Central Himalayas, the whole of North-East, Rann of Kutch, Rajasthan and the Indo - Gangetic Plain. Some areas of South India also fall in the danger zone.
