India has been divided into five different seismic zones with respect to the severity of the earthquakes. Of this, Zone V is seismically the most active region where earthquakes of the magnitude of 8 or more on the Richter scale could occur. The quake in Bhuj, which is in Zone V, and the tremors felt in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are isolated phenomena and not linked in any way.
