Abstract

Seismotectonics and change in river courses were correlated. Following the elastic rebound theory before the occurrence of the earthquake the subsurface rocks accumulate the energy by the tectonic movement. The Kosi river barrage was broken due to the tectonic forces accumulation in the south of Tibet Himalayas. Kosi river originates from Tibetan Himalayas and any disturbance in Tibet plateau has the potential to change the river course.
