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.
