The 2012 April 11th event occurred 300km South West of the 2004 event. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 22.9 km (14.2 mi), which is considered relatively shallow according to the scale used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The occurrence of two great earthquakes within such a … At their boundary, the Indian and Australian Plates converge at 11 mm (0.4 in) per year in a NNW–SSE direction. [16][18], Four people in their 60s and 70s in Banda Aceh, and a 39-year-old man in Lhokseumawe died from heart attacks or shock. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra occurred within three days of a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in the Macquarie Islands. In a period of minutes, the faulting released elastic strains that had accumulated for centuries from ongoing subduction of the India plate beneath the overriding Burma microplate. The earthquake was caused by a strike-slip motion. Power cuts occurred in Banda Aceh. Its location in the Wharton Basin is 100km off the subduction zone were the Devastating 2004 event took place. The 2012 Indian Ocean earthquakes were magnitude 8.6 and 8.2 Mw undersea earthquakes that struck near the Indonesian province of Aceh on 11 April at 15:38 local time. A sequence of events with fairly wide spatial and temporal extent are clearly needed to explain many facets of seismic data. Or, try our Real-time Notifications, Feeds, and Web Services . The earthquake and the largest aftershock had a fault displacement of 21.3 m (70 ft). http://www.facebook.com/thetrieyehttp://www.thetrieye.orghttp://gplus.to/TheTrieye Earthquakes location distribution for the last major sequences in the Sumatra region, This map shows the different processes involved in the 2012 April 11th events (strike slip) and the.

It was felt as far away as Malaysia, the Maldives and in India. The earthquake lasted for about two minutes in total. [24][25][26] The quake was felt across the eastern coast of India including Chennai, Bangalore, Kochi, Bhubaneswar, Vizag and Kolkata. A significant aftershock of magnitude Mw 8.1 occurred at 10:43 UTC, 2 hours after the main quake and was also largely felt. An 8.2-magnitude aftershock was reported off the coast of northern Sumatra with an epicenter 382 miles from Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, around 6:43 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. [11], As part of a risk mitigation measure, the Ceylon Electricity Board disconnected power supplies to coastal areas and railway control rooms. [43], The Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights (Sri Lanka) authorised an evacuation order[44] at 9:08 UTC advising people living near coastal regions to move to higher ground. [40] Authorities told civilians to move away from the coast and towards higher ground. [3], The 2012 earthquake's epicenter was located within the Indo-Australian Plate, which is divided into two sub- or proto-plates: the Indian, and Australian. The Indian Air Force dispatched two C-130s and one Il-76 aircraft to the Andaman islands. A great shallow strike-slip earthquake of magnitude Mw (mB) 8.5 occurred off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, on 11 April 2012 at 14:08 1ST (08:38 UTC) with its epicentre at 2.40°N and 93.07°E and focal depth of 10 km (Figure 1). [50] The Television Pool of Thailand defended their actions, saying that running texts about the warnings were displayed onscreen during the broadcast. [51][52] The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics said three small tsunamis struck the Aceh coast. It has been largely felt in the region and as far as Singapore, Thaïland and India, leading to evacuation of the population. [45] Deputy Director M. D. Dayananda said that a tsunami could hit Trincomalee. As part of that intraplate deformation, north–south trending fracture zones have been reactivated from the Ninety East Ridge as far east as 97°E. [9][10], The magnitude 8.6 (Mw) earthquake occurred about 610 km (379 mi) southwest of Banda Aceh, Indonesia at 08:38 UTC on 11 April 2012. [citation needed], During the initial earthquake and for more than two hours after none of Thailand's free television stations reported the earthquake or tsunami warnings, preferring to continue a live broadcast of a royal family ceremony, despite the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC)'s urgent order directing the emergency information to be broadcast instead without delay. An earthquake of magnitude Mw 8.6 occurred off coast of the Sumatra Island (Indonesia), April 11th 2012 at 08:38 UTC (15:38 Indonesian time). [19] The quake prompted people in Indonesia, Thailand and India to leave their homes and offices in fear of tsunamis. (This event has … In Decembre 2004, a M9.3 earthquake caused a devastating tsunami which killed 230,000 people in more than a dozen countries. Also felt (V) at Gunungsitoli, Nias and at Jitra, Malaysia. It has been said that the tsunami that occurred after the Sumatra earthquake was the worst tsunami to ever occur. More information on the main shock is available here. At the time of this report, the damages are still unknown. The magnitude 8.1 event has been located OFF THE WEST COAST OF NORTHERN SUMATRA. The tsunami generated by the earthquake was recorded nearly world-wide and killed more people than any other tsunami in recorded history, almost 230,000 missing and presumed dead. Navy warships were put on high alert. Read Figures: Two earthquakes off west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia latest on ITV News.

Send them by mail, MMS or upload them directly from your computer. In Decembre 2004, a M9.3 earthquake caused a devastating tsunami which killed 230,000 people in more than a dozen countries. The serpentinization of oceanic lithosphere can lead to a low friction coefficient, but the reaction is possible only up to 400–500 °C (752–932 °F), which corresponds to the depth of about 25 km (16 mi). A debate arose among seismologists over whether this should be considered an aftershock of the December 2004 event, or a "triggered earthquake" as it was larger than typical aftershocks but on the same fault. The magnitude 8.6 (Mw) earthquake occurred about 610 km (379 mi) southwest of Banda Aceh, Indonesia at 08:38 UTC on 11 April 2012. [7], The Indo–Australian Plate was formed after the amalgamation of the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate some 45 million years ago. All these earthquakes were consistent with either left-lateral slip on SSW–NNE orientated strike-slip faults, or right-lateral slip on WNW–ESE orientated strike-slip faults, both compatible with the direction of convergence. The d… A tsunami alert has been lifted around much of the Indian Ocean after an 8.6-magnitude earthquake struck off the western coast of Aceh, northern Sumatra… The magnitude 8.6 (USGS)earthquake hitoff the west coast of northern Sumatra at 2:38 p.m. (local time) on April 11, 2012.

W Coast Of Northern Sumatra has had: (M1.5 or greater) 0 earthquakes in the past 24 hours 1 earthquake in the past 7 days; 2 earthquakes in the past 30 days The initial quake was not expected to affect Sri Lanka, but aftershocks were being monitored. After validation your files will be displayed on this page. Initially, authorities feared that the initial earthquake would cause a tsunami and warnings were issued across the Indian Ocean; however, these warnings were subsequently cancelled. [11] The alerts caused panic as people fled buildings and made for high ground. The eart… [30], A magnitude 8.2 aftershock struck at a depth of 16.4 kilometres (10.2 mi) about 430 km (267 mi) southwest of Banda Aceh at 10:43 UTC, two hours after the initial earthquake. It was the deadliest tsunami in history. [46] The Road Development Authority removed toll charges from the Southern Sri Lanka Distributor to aid the evacuation. The 2005 Nias–Simeulue earthquake occurred on 28 March off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia.At least 915 people were killed, mostly on the island of Nias.The event caused panic in the region, which had already been devastated by the massive tsunami triggered by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, but this earthquake generated a relatively small tsunami that caused limited damage. Share your earthquake experience (I Have Felt It) with our readers. This earthquake had an overall relatively slow rupture speed, although the speed was above the S-wave velocity in some fault segments. [2] The quake was originally reported as a magnitude 8.9, but was later downgraded to 8.6. Phuket International Airport was closed. [36] The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that at 10:14 UTC that a tsunami was generated and may have already caused some coastal destruction. December 26, 2004 - A magnitude 9.1 earthquake strikes off the west coast of Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. [28] The tremor was felt in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where people in some high-rise buildings were evacuated. In 2004, a 9.1-magnitude underwater earthquake off the coast of Sumatra triggered a tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people in 14 countries. The 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake is associated to the reactivation of the NNE-striking sea floor fabric. Patients were reportedly wheeled out of hospitals, some with drips attached to their arms. The Earthquake Event Page application supports most recent browsers, view supported browsers. [24] Indonesian authorities also issued a statement saying that the likelihood of a tsunami was low. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 22.9 km (14.2 mi), which is considered relatively shallow according to the scale used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). [48], Six Andaman coast provinces urged people to go to high ground and stay away from areas that could be affected. [53] After the sea was seen receding about 10 metres (33 ft) at Simeulue, a 1 m (3 ft) wave was observed. A massive quake off the west coast of Indonesia sent fears across the country, prompting residents in coastal cities to rush to higher ground. A significant aftershock of magnitude Mw 8.1 occurred at 10:43 UTC, 2 hours after the main quake and was also largely felt. Many studies with body-wave and long-period surface wave analyses on the Off-the-West-coast of Northern Sumatra Earthquake of April 11, 2012, have already pointed out complexities of this event (e.g., Meng et al., 2012). The 2012 Sumatran earthquake, then, may prove fortuitous not just in the sense that it killed so few people (USGS puts it at at least ten, compared with over almost 250,000 after the Boxing Day tsunami) but helps fuel discussion about our understanding of seismic hazard in terms of predicting the potential size of major earthquakes and the damage they might cause.
