摘要

印度洋-恒河平原（IGP）毗邻喜马拉雅山脉，是最容易发生地震的地区之一。根据变形程度和分形维度，对印度洋-甘地平原进行了基于地理信息系统（GIS）的地震特征描述。喜马拉雅山脉（HMR）的主边界推力（MBT）和主中央推力（MCT）之间的区域经历了巨大的震级变化，这些变化是通过数量-尺寸（NS）分形建模确定的。IGP 中心地带仅经历了中等至较低的主震级别。对地震震中的分形分析表明，HMR 和 IGP 中心区的地震震中非常分散。同样，断层分形分析表明，HMR、IGP 中部和 IGP 西南部地带的断层较多。总体而言，研究区域的地震活动性在 IGP 中部、IGP 西南部和 HMR 区较强，在 IGP 西部和南部中等，在 IGP 北部、东部和东南部较低。

Fractal analysis of major faults and fractal dimension of lineaments in the Indo-Gangetic Plain on a regional scale

The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) is one of the most seismically vulnerable areas due to its proximity to the Himalayas. Geographic information system (GIS)-based seismic characterization of the IGP was performed based on the degree of deformation and fractal dimension. The zone between the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the Himalayan Mountain Range (HMR) experienced large variations in earthquake magnitude, which were identified by Number-Size (NS) fractal modeling. The central IGP zone experienced only moderate to low mainshock levels. Fractal analysis of earthquake epicenters reveals a large scattering of earthquake epicenters in the HMR and central IGP zones. Similarly, the fault fractal analysis identifies the HMR, central IGP, and south-western IGP zones as having more faults. Overall, the seismicity of the study region is strong in the central IGP, south-western IGP, and HMR zones, moderate in the western and southern IGP, and low in the northern, eastern, and south-eastern IGP zones.
