§The Chaman Fault runs along Pakistan's western frontier with Afghanistan from Kalat, in the northern Makran range, past Quetta and then on to Kabul, Afghanistan. A fault also runs along the Makran coast and is believed to be of the same nature as the West Coast fault along the coast of Maharashtra, India.

§An active subduction zone exists off the Makran coast that the great 1945 earthquake was centred in this region (The subduction zone is the place where two lithospheric plates come together, one riding over the other)

§Tsunamis or tidal waves have also affected the coast of Pakistan!! The worst case was in 1945 when an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 struck the Makran coast, waves as high as 12 meters were reported.
