It falls under Seismic Zone IV. This means that the state is prone to earthquakes of moderate intensity. The state has experienced several earthquakes in the past, including a major earthquake in 1897.<\/p>\n<p>Seismic Zone I is the least seismically active zone, while Seismic Zone V is the most seismically active zone. The intensity of earthquakes increases as the seismic zone number increases.<\/p>\n<p>Seismic Zone IV is a moderate seismic zone. Earthquakes of moderate intensity can occur in this zone. These earthquakes can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to be prepared for earthquakes in Seismic Zone IV. This includes having a plan in place for what to do in the event of an earthquake. It is also important to make sure that your home and workplace are prepared for an earthquake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Zone II&#8221; option2=&#8221;Zone III&#8221; option3=&#8221;Zone IV&#8221; option4=&#8221;Zone V&#8221; correct=&#8221;option3&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[987],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meghalaya-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meghalaya is located in a seismically active region.
