What is the cause for this?[edit]

what is the cause for this ?? where all will the after effect be felt?? are there any warnings of future quakes and tremors?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.98.227.56 (talk) 12:24, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is not such warning of more damage, please read the references at the article for more info! Faizan -Let's talk! 13:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties[edit]

Any source for the casualties besides in Iran and Pakistan? Qrfqr (talk) 22:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all them damage occurred due to the quake was in Iran and Pakistan only, read the references for more! Faizan -Let's talk! 06:23, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map[edit]

Can we get a better locator map? Preferably one that contains all of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, plus the neighbouring sea region. This is so offcenter on the current map as to be almost off the edge. The suggested map would center the epicenter. -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 08:06, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well it only took about 7 years. I've added a map of "Southwest Asia" as an alternative for those that would prefer a broader perspective. Mikenorton (talk) 00:29, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Country borders[edit]

Someone should replace the map under tectonics with a map from this time period. USSR and Yugoslavia don't exist by 2013, at least in our timeline… Ivucica (talk) 07:18, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Magnitude & References[edit]

USGS says 7.7, should I change it? References need to be updates, at least/especially the USGS references. Pubserv (talk) 18:57, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One of the USGS refs was broken, so I replace it with another citation to the other working reference from the USGS. I also updated the magnitude to 7.7 - thanks. Mikenorton (talk) 21:19, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2013 Q3. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Louisiana State University/HNRS 1035:Natural Disturbances and Society" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

Article Contribution[edit]

Hello. I am a student at Louisiana State University and I want to contribute to this article. I would like to add at least three sections entitled "Public Response," History," and "Preparedness." In these three sections I will add information about how the Iranian citizens viewed the Sistan and Baluchestan earthquake, the historical activity of this area, and comment on the increased earthquake activity in this area. I also want to state how prepared those affected were for the earthquake and how prepared and effective the Red Crescent and the Red Cross were in this instance.

If you have any questions or comments you can contact me on my talk page.

Thank you.
