The 1931 Myitkyina earthquake, or also known as the 1931 Kamaing earthquake, occurred on January 28 at 02:35 local time (20:9 January 27 UTC).[1][2] It was located in northern Burma, then part of British India. The magnitude of this earthquake was put at Шаблон:M 7.6. According to some sources the depth was 35 km, and according to a study of Phyo M. M. the depth was 5 to 30 km.[1][3]
The shock was very violent and lasted at least 30 seconds.[2] The intensity reached MMI IX. There were numerous fissures and cracks.[4] Sand blows were reported. The earthquake may have been caused by slip along the Sagaing Fault.[5] The Sagaing Fault is a continental transform fault between the India Plate and the Sunda Plate.[6] This earthquake is located along the northern Sagaing Fault. Sagaing Fault at 22° N is narrow, about 10 km wide. The part of Sagaing Fault between 25°30' and 26° is wider, with a shear zone about 70 km wide, and has four branches identified.[7]
