The villages of Qal’eh Zaeas, Taqa, Andika and the settlements between these villages were ruined and many people were killed. On the southeast face of Kuh-i Landeh the earthquake triggered a landslide and in places rockfalls that produced a discontinuous scarp about one kilometer long. Aftershocks and also new springs of water that emerged at the foot of the scarp after the earthquake caused additional movements of the slide mass.
