Article Synopsis
- The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake highlighted the need to understand the seismic risks in subduction zones, particularly the Sunda megathrust.
- In March 2005, another significant earthquake (M(w) 8.6) occurred in the region, raising concerns about potential large quakes in the Mentawai area, especially after previous major events in 1797 and 1833.
- The 2007 earthquakes (M(w) 8.4 and 7.9) showed that the megathrust can rupture in different ways, and the stress from earlier events may not have been sufficient to produce a larger quake, indicating that the threat of significant earthquakes in the Mentawai area persists.
