Bangladesh sits at the active collision triple junction between the Indian Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Burma Microplate. The nation is bounded by major seismogenic structures: the active Dauki Fault system along the northern border with the Shillong Plateau, the Madhupur blind fault in central Bangladesh, and the Indo-Burma Subduction Megathrust along the eastern Chittagong Hill Tracts. Extremely high population density and deep alluvial delta sediments expose major cities—Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet—to severe soil liquefaction and ground motion amplification.
