Abstract
Several major earthquakes affected the stable continental Indian peninsular shield in recent past due to the activity of fault movements. This necessitates identifying the active faults in the region for future monitoring. The far field co-seismic and post-seismic effects of recent major earthquakes occurred at Sumatra, 2004, Pakistan, 2007 and Indonesia, 2007 on HYDE and IISc IGS GPS stations were studied by small span GPS analysis. Different type of movement pattern on displacement components ensure the reactivation of existing fault planes signifying an integral relationship between GPS displacement vectors and geological structure of the region.
