The Geological Survey of India (G.S.I) first published the seismic zoning map of India in the year 1935. This map tells us about the earthquake-prone areas in India. The Map is colour coded in a different colour which shows four different seismic zones of India. 

They are as follows:

1. Zone – II: This is the least active seismic zone. 

2. Zone – III: It is included in the moderate seismic zone. 

3. Zone – IV: This is considered to be high seismic zone. 

4. Zone – V: It is the highest seismic zone.

The Map Below shows the Seismic Zones of India.
