Abstract eng:
This article is focused on the geological observations in the meizoseismal region in Muzaffarabad earthquake, Oct..8 2005, Mw 7.6. The major damaged area (the valley elongated between Balakut, Muzaffarabad and and Bagh) was elongated parallel to the reactivated Muzaffarabad fault and the attenuation is high in the direction normal to the fault comparing with the direction parallel to it. The high intensity values were assessed in the localities where some huge landslides are observed.
