Researchers at the University of Ulster-Coleraine in Northern Ireland report in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature that stress is building not only in the Sumatra fault, where the magnitude 9.0 quake struck December 26, but also on the adjacent fault zone known as the Sunda Trench, located under the sea west of Sumatra.

Another rupture could trigger a magnitude 7-7.5 quake on either fault. That would be a significant quake, but far less powerful than the one that unleashed a tsunami that left an estimated 300,000 people dead or missing.

The researchers stopped short of predicting when another large quake would strike the region. But similar events elsewhere in the world have occurred within a few years of each other, or even a few months.



This article was written March 17th. How accurate our scientists are!! Shocked
