The earthquake's hypocenter was around 10 km deep – relatively shallow – allowing shock waves to cause more damage. It is considered the deadliest earthquake in the stable continental crust to have occurred in recorded history. Because the location does not lie on a plate boundary, there was some debate as to what caused the earthquake. The Indian sub-continent crumples as it pushes against Asia and pressure is released. It is possible that this pressure is released along fault lines. Another argument is that reservoir construction along the Terna was responsible for increasing pressure on fault lines.

Prior to 1967 there had been only three recorded notable earthquakes in peninsular India. The Koyna earthquake, a few hundred miles west of Latur in 1967 was the most recent one.Gupta, H.

Current Science, 65(7), 517–521. http://www.jstor.org/stable/24095866 Latur area is near the eastern end of Deccan Traps formed by flood basalt. The basalt flows in the area are estimated to be 450 meters thick with the terrain generally flat.Rajendran, C. P., Rajendran, K., Unnikrishnan, K. R., & John, B. (1996).

Current Science, 70(5), 385–390. http://www.jstor.org/stable/24097438 Impact The earthquake struck at 03:56 AM local time, when many residents were still celebrating a religious holiday. In Latur District, 817 of its 936 villages were affected; 374 villages were damaged in Dharashiv District.Comfort Louise K.

Estimates of the death toll range from 7,582 to over 11,000. In Killari, more than 1,200 people died and at least 2,847 homes were razed. Within the epicenter area, nearly all livestock were destroyed. The scale of death and destruction was considered disproportionately large for the moderate earthquake magnitude. Poor construction methods and rainy weather which preceded the earthquake contributed to the destruction.Kaul Ravi Latur Earthquake World Affairs: The Journal of International Issues 1994 3 1 55–57 Kapur Surya FoundationOnly 3,500 Latur earthquake victims got jobs in 27 years: Report https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/only-3-500-latur-earthquake-victims-got-jobs-in-27-years-report/story-KjTPBb2xsr51lD5wejB53N.html 20 October 2021 Hindustan Times 30 September 2020Aggarwal Arshi Killari quake: 25 years on, survivors still recovering from quake which killed 10,000 https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india-killari-quake-25-years-on-survivors-still-recovering-from-quake-which-killed-10-000-466850 20 October 2021 indiatvnews. 30 September 2018 Relief efforts Several foreign and local donors reacted immediately to the tragedy by sending relief teams and rescue workers.Maharashtra's deadliest earthquake: Some facts you must know about the Latur earthquake https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/maharashtras-deadliest-earthquake-265569-2015-09-30 20 October 2021 India Today 30 September 2015 Physicians and staff from Railway Hospital, Solapur and V.M.
