Researchers have traced the great Assam earthquake of 1950 (8.6 in Richter Scale) to complex tectonics of the North Eastern fringe of the Indian Plate in the Eastern Himalaya and the Indo-Burma Ranges (IBR) and the interactions between the two, which can produce deeper earthquakes in IBR and crustal ones in the Eastern Himalaya. They have suggested that this seismic structure
