The 2019 Mw 5.6 Kashmir earthquake occurred near the foothill regions of Himalaya causing severe damage to the buildings area in spite of lesser magnitude. The difference in intensity of damage in the area indicates difference in sediment load, underlying structures and the ongoing tectonic activity in the area. Complex tectonic setup making the area one of the seismically active region in Himalayan Belt. Bounded by two major faults, Samwal Fault and Jhelum Fault, the area is modified by both the tectonic forces. DInSAR observations from this study suggested that most deformation was concentrated in between NE - SW Samwal fault and NW - SE Jhelum Fault. The phase profile indicates upliftment of 0.27 m in south of EW Samwal Fault whereas subsidence of 0.16 m near northern side on LOS direction. |
