The correct answer is Option (2) → 4
India is divided into four seismic zones based on the level of seismic activity and earthquake risk. These seismic zones are designated as follows:
- Seismic Zone II: Low-risk zone, with minor seismic activity
- Seismic Zone III: Moderate-risk zone, with moderate seismic activity
- Seismic Zone IV: High-risk zone, with significant seismic activity
- Seismic Zone V: Very high-risk zone, with the highest level of seismic activity
These seismic zones help in assessing and planning for earthquake-resistant infrastructure and disaster preparedness measures in different regions of India. |
